This is the moment a bakery truck was hit by a plane as it was coming into land at Newark Airport in New Jersey.

The Boeing 767-400 managed to land safely at Newark Liberty with no reports of injuries on board. The driver of the truck was taken to hospital with minor injuries and has subsequently been released.

The National Transportation Safety Board has opened an investigation into the incident.
