A small plane turned a Florida road into an emergency runway Saturday, crashing into the back of a moving pickup truck in a dramatic close call captured on video.

Two pilots were aboard the aircraft when a mechanical issue forced them to attempt an emergency landing near Bayshore Road and Interstate 75 in North Fort Myers around noon, according to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.

The plane departed Sebring, Florida, around 11 a.m. Saturday and made the emergency landing about 50 minutes later, at 11:50 a.m., according to FlightAware tracking data.

Video captured from the road shows the plane’s wheels touch down on the asphalt as it speeds along Bayshore Road, its wing clipping the rear of a pickup traveling in the same direction.

The truck was heading eastbound when the aircraft struck it, according to the sheriff’s office. No injuries were reported.

Images shared by the sheriff’s office show the aftermath, with the small aircraft sitting on the roadway.

"Thankfully, this incident had a positive outcome, and no one was injured," Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno said in a statement.
