Video Shows Plane Striking Car During I-95 Emergency Landing in Florida

Investigators opened probes following two unrelated small-aircraft road landings reported in Central Florida.

Overview

  • The Beechcraft 55 attempted an emergency landing on southbound I-95 near mile marker 201 in Cocoa around 5:45 p.m. and collided with a 2023 Toyota Camry.
  • The Camry’s 57-year-old driver was taken to a hospital with minor injuries, while the 27-year-old pilot and his 27-year-old passenger were unhurt.
  • Newly released footage captured the moment the aircraft contacted the car during the highway touchdown.
  • The FAA is leading the aviation inquiry and the Florida Highway Patrol is handling the vehicle crash investigation, with lanes reopened shortly before 9 p.m.
  • Hours earlier, a single-engine Cessna made a roadside landing near DeLand High School, sending two conscious occupants to hospitals, as officials review preliminary reports of possible engine-power loss on training flights that remain unconfirmed.
