A gripping 911 call has emerged, capturing the moments after stunned onlookers witnessed a plane crash into a car during an emergency landing on a Florida highway.

According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the incident occurred around 5:45 p.m. on Monday, when a Beechcraft 55 aircraft, experiencing engine failure, attempted to land on Interstate 95 in Merritt Island. The plane collided with a 2023 Toyota Camry before skidding onto the roadway, as reported by FOX 35 Orlando.

The recently released 911 audio reveals the panic and disbelief of witnesses who observed the dramatic scene unfold.

A woman can be heard in the recording saying, “On I-95, a plane just came down,” and adding, “The people in the plane are moving around.”

“[On] I-95, a plane just came down,” one woman told 911. “The people in the plane are moving around.”

“And you’re saying a plane, correct?” the dispatcher asked. “Out of the sky?”

“A plane hit a car as it landed on I-95,” the woman responded.

Another woman told dispatchers the sight was “pretty scary,” noting it landed on a car.

“I saw him coming down, and I hit the brakes,” she said. “I was in the far left lane, and it came right beside me and hit the small white car.”

The 27-year-old Orlando pilot and a 27-year-old passenger from Temple Terrace escaped the aircraft unharmed.
