Astonishing dashcam video of plane crash landing on California highway before catching fire

A single-engine plane burst into flames after performing a crash landing on a California freeway, on Tuesday, August 9.

Storyful, a social media intelligence agency, reports that the dash-camera video recorded by Edward Pajaro shows the moment the airplane hit the ground and lost control on the 91 Freeway eastbound in Corona.

It writes that citing authorities, local media reported the plane was carrying a passenger and a pilot, while the truck was carrying three people.
No-one was reported injured.

“(We’re) very fortunate today that the traffic was light, and the pilot appears to have made some good landing navigation that avoided what could have been a very bad tragedy,” California Highway Patrol Captain Levi Miller told KTLA.
