A plane made an emergency landing on a busy road in California shocking motorists. The pilot was forced to land after the flight lost power shortly after takeoff. A dash-cam video captured the small plane making an emergency landing in the middle of the road.
Chris Young who captured the dramatic landing on dash cam video told KCAL9, “I looked up and saw the plane literally through my sunroof. I was kind of holding traffic back for her because I knew she was going down right there.” Young put his hazard lights on and weaved back and forth to stop traffic.
