A small plane skidded off the runway and crashed into a moving car as it was making an emergency landing at an airport in Texas, injuring one person, authorities said.
Video footage from the incident, which happened on Sat. Nov. 11, shows the propeller plane smash through a fence as it made an emergency landing before bouncing and skidding onto the road, where it collided with a silver sedan that was driving perpendicular to the plane’s path.
The incident occurred at the Aero Country Airport in McKinney, a suburb approximately 35 miles north of Dallas,
