00:00A terrifying evening on a Florida highway turned rush hour traffic into a disaster scene in a

00:16matter of seconds. Just before sunset on Monday, drivers on I-95 near Merritt Island looked ahead

00:24and saw something no motorist expects, a small aircraft dropping out of the sky, lining up with

00:31the southbound lanes as if the highway itself were a runway. According to investigators, the

00:37emergency began around 5.45 p.m. when a Beechcraft 55 experienced a sudden technical failure in mid-air.

00:45Both engines reportedly lost power without warning, stripping the 27-year-old pilot of his options.

00:52At that altitude, there was no time to hunt for an airport and no open field large enough to

00:58guarantee a safe landing. With seconds to decide, he aimed the powerless aircraft toward the interstate

01:05below, hoping he could ride it down and thread it between the cars. But the roadway was packed with

01:11commuters. Witnesses say the Beechcraft came in low over the traffic and slammed down onto the southbound

01:18lanes. As it touched the asphalt, the aircraft clipped a 2023 Toyota Camry driven by a 57-year-old woman.

01:27The impact spun the car and yanked the plane to a violent halt, sending parts of the wing and glass

01:33skittering across the highway. Drivers in nearby lanes hit their brakes, swerved onto the shoulder,

01:39and abandoned their vehicles as the scene filled with dust, smoke, and the fear that the aircraft might

01:45catch fire. Incredibly, the pilot and his 27-year-old passenger managed to climb out of the wreckage

01:52without a scratch. The Camry driver was less fortunate but still lucky, suffering minor injuries

01:58that paramedics described as non-life-threatening. She was rushed to a nearby hospital where doctors

02:05expect her to make a full recovery. For most of the people stuck in traffic, the worst injuries were shock,

02:12and the realization of how narrowly they had avoided catastrophe. Within minutes of the crash,

02:18Florida Highway Patrol troopers, firefighters, and rescue crews descended on the 201-mile marker stretch

02:24of I-95. Authorities shut down every southbound lane, turning the interstate into a sealed-off

02:31investigation site. Crews worked under flashing lights for hours, documenting skid marks, photographing

02:38the plane's resting position, and checking for any fuel leaks that could spark a blaze. Tow trucks and

02:44heavy equipment were brought in to remove both the mangled car and the crippled aircraft from the

02:49roadway. What began as an evening commute turned into an all-night closure. The highway did not fully

02:56reopen until around 9 a.m. Tuesday, snarling traffic for miles and forcing thousands of drivers onto side roads.

03:04Remarkably, this was not the only aviation emergency in Florida that day. Roughly 46 miles from Orlando,

03:12near DeLand, another small aircraft, a Cessna 172, was forced to make an emergency landing. Details from

03:20that incident are still emerging, but officials say two people on board were injured. Both were transported

03:27for treatment and are listed in stable condition, adding yet another layer of concern for aviation

03:33safety across the state. Two emergency landings, two small planes, one state, all within a single day.

03:44For investigators, the question now is whether these are unrelated strokes of bad luck or signs of

03:50deeper issues, from maintenance problems to pilot error or weather conditions. Teams from state

03:56authorities and federal aviation agencies are examining the wreckage, listening to cockpit

04:01communications, and reviewing maintenance logs to piece together what went wrong. For the drivers who

04:07watched a plane fall toward them on I-95, the investigation cannot change what they saw, but it may help

04:15ensure that future airborne emergencies never again end so close to ground-level traffic.
