Stunning 911 audio has been released after witnesses shockingly watched a plane crash into a small car while making an emergency landing on a Florida freeway.
The fixed-wing Beechcraft 55 was attempting to make an emergency landing on I-95 in Merritt Island at about 5:45 p.m. Monday after reporting engine trouble, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) told Fox News Digital.
During the landing, the plane landed on top of a 2023 Toyota Camry, before skidding in front of the car onto the road, according to a report from affiliate FOX 35 Orlando.
Witnesses described the terrifying scene in 911 call audio recently released by officials.

The 27-year-old Orlando pilot and a 27-year-old passenger from Temple Terrace, escaped the aircraft unharmed.
