This is the moment a small plane collided with a moving car while attempting an emergency landing on a Florida freeway on Monday evening (9 December).

The fixed-wing aircraft was descending onto Interstate-95 in Merritt Island when it hit a passing vehicle after reporting technical difficulties, authorities said.

The woman driving the Toyota Camry was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, while the 27-year-old pilot and their passenger were unhurt, officials confirmed.

Investigators said the pilot was forced to bring the plane down urgently, though the exact cause was not disclosed.
