Propeller plane misses runway and crashes into car in Texas

A small propeller plane overshot the runway while landing at a Texas airport, before skidding into a car passing in a road nearby.

Footage captured by bystander Jack Schneider showed the plane crash through a fence during an emergency landing.

“I saw the airplane coming down the runway quickly I knew that he wasn’t gonna have time to stop,” Mr Schneider told local news broadcaster WFAA-TV on Saturday.

“It was clearly going too fast, the tires were smoking.”

The car’s driver was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, while the two people in the plane were not hurt.

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the cause of the crash.
