- The pilot and a passenger, both 27, were uninjured, while the Toyota Camry’s 57-year-old driver sustained minor injuries and was taken to Viera Hospital.
- Traffic lanes were closed for several hours for removal of the aircraft and car, with full flow restored at about 9 p.m.
- Authorities identified the aircraft as a Beechcraft 55/95-C55 operated by Tailwinds Flying out of Merritt Island, with registration N95KC reported in local coverage.
- The FAA is leading the technical review, the Florida Highway Patrol opened a parallel probe, and the NTSB has initiated an investigation, as the incident followed other recent forced landings in central Florida including one earlier the same day in DeLand.
