Plane crashes into truck, catches fire

A single-engine airplane crashed into a pickup truck on the 91 Freeway in Corona and then burst into flames.

The California Highway Patrol began receiving reports of a plane crash just after 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, ABC News reports.

The incident happened along the eastbound lanes at Lincoln Avenue.

Dashcam video captured the moment the small plane crash-landed on the freeway and burst into flames.

 

CHP officials said there were two people on the plane and three in the truck. Thankfully, everyone was able to walk away unharmed.

“Absolutely very fortunate today. The traffic was light, and the pilot appears to have made some good landing navigations and avoided what could have been a very bad tragedy,” said CHP Capt. Levi Miller.

“An unidentified small plane landed on the eastbound 91 Freeway near Interstate 15 in Corona, Calif., around 12:30 local time today. Two people were on board. The FAA will investigate. The agency does not identify people involved in aircraft accidents or incidents.”
