Two police officers from Pinellas County in Florida, USA were on duty on Sunday morning when they caught a startling sight on their car dashcam. A plane flew dangerously low on a highway. Moments later, it crashed.
Pilot Marc Allen Benedict and passenger Gregory Guinee had taken off in their single-engine Rockwell International aircraft from Clearwater Airpark and landed at Zephyrhills Municipal Airport, 80 kilometres away. After refueling at Zephyrhills Municipal Airport, the plane was flying back to its point of origin when it had "engine trouble" and crashed on the highway, barely 2 kilometres away from Clearwater Airpark.
Realising making it back to the original airport would be difficult, the pilot attempted to land in an open area. But while landing, the left wing of the plane clipped a tree causing the plane to spin and crash-land. The terrifying moment was caught on the deputies' dash camera.
Police said the pilot and the passenger escaped unhurt in the landing and "refused medical treatment".
