Remarkable audio from 911 calls has surfaced following a dramatic incident where onlookers watched in disbelief as a plane collided with a small vehicle during an emergency landing on a Florida highway.

A Beechcraft 55 aircraft was forced to make an emergency descent onto I-95 near Merritt Island around 5:45 p.m. on Monday, after the pilot reported engine issues, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), as shared with Fox News Digital.

The aircraft came down on top of a 2023 Toyota Camry, eventually veering in front of the vehicle before coming to a halt on the roadway, as detailed in a FOX 35 Orlando report.

Emergency call recordings released by authorities capture witnesses vividly recounting the frightening scene.

“[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.

The Camry was driven by a 57-year-old woman who was taken to hospital with minor injuries. 

Another man who called 911 said the plane lowered its landing gear and appeared to be “under control.”
