FAA Opens Probe After Beechcraft Hits Car During I‑95 Emergency Landing

Officials report only minor injuries from the highway landing.

Overview

  • The twin‑engine Beechcraft 55 attempted an emergency landing around 5:45–6:00 p.m. on Interstate 95 near Cocoa, Florida.
  • The aircraft struck a 2023 Toyota Camry, briefly lifted, then came to rest beside the car, as dashcam video showed sparks and debris.
  • The 27‑year‑old pilot from Orlando and a 27‑year‑old passenger from Temple Terrace were uninjured, while the 57‑year‑old driver was hospitalized with minor injuries.
  • The FAA opened an investigation into the aviation incident, and the Florida Highway Patrol is handling the traffic crash inquiry.
  • Local outlets reported the pilot had radioed engine trouble before the landing, though the cause remains unconfirmed; a separate Cessna crash earlier that day in DeLand injured two and closed Highway 92 for hours.
