Florida crash: Shocking moment plane dove into roadway, smashed into Toyota Camry

The tragic incident took place in the southbound lanes of I-95 at approximately 5:45 pm on Monday, December 8, after the pilot reported engine trouble. The plane executed an emergency landing into moving traffic and struck a car, as reported by local news sources Fox 13 News, Click Orlando, and WESH, which referenced the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) and Brevard County Fire Rescue.

Jim Coffey and his son Peter Coffey were driving on I-95 around 5:45 p.m. when they saw a small multi-engine Beechcraft 55 flying above them, shortly before it descended onto a Toyota Camry in front of their vehicle. A video shared online captures shows the aircraft landing atop the car before sliding forward and eventually halting on the roadway.

The collision crushed the sedan against the median and spread debris across the southbound lanes, prompting troopers to close off the interstate as emergency responders arrived.
