A video of a pilot hitting the top of a passing SUV has gone viral on the web. NBC News reported that it was the wife of the pilot who caught the video of her husband, William Davis, driving the small, single-engine 2005 Cessna Skyhawk plane and clipping the top of an SUV while she was landing at an airport in North Texas.
The wife of a pilot whose single-engine plane clipped a passing SUV while landing at a North Texas airport over the weekend caught the collision on tape.
NBC News reported, "William Davis was trying to land a 2005 Cessna Skyhawk plane at the Northwest Regional Airport in Roanoke on Saturday when he clipped an SUV that was driving adjacent to the runway."
NBC reported that the Texas Department of Public Safety identified the couple in the car as Frank and Heather Laudo from Flower Mound. The couple was taken to the hospital for non-life threatening injuries.
Frank Laudo said to NBC News, "I saw it about a second before it hit us. I was opening my mouth to go 'duck!'" Frank Laudo said. "The next thing you know there's shattering."
The video shows the plane coming towards the roadway as the black car drives on the road and then is directly under the plane. The plane's wheel hits the SUV's top and and the crash causes debris to fly around, before the plane fell onto the ground and skidded off of the runway.
"The roadway is a public road that runs perpendicular to the runway and provides access to the east side of the regional airport," reported NBC.
