The American pilot made an emergency landing on a highway.
Young pilot Vincent Fraser narrowly avoided disaster when he was forced to land his small plane on a highway in North Carolina.
The media have shared the GoPro footage taken from Fraser’s point of view as he made the tense landing after his plane’s engine failed.
In the video, Fraser’s plane appears to fly low to the ground, hovering over several cars before “contacting” the road.
Eventually, the plane comes to a quiet stop, turning off the highway onto a side road.
Meanwhile, a caption signed by Sheriff Curtis Cochran confirmed that there were no injuries from the incident, calling Fraser’s landing an “extraordinary job”.
Fraser, a Navy veteran from Florida, only recently received his pilot’s license.
He was reportedly certified to fly last fall and has less than 100 hours of experience in the air.
“There were so many things that could have been catastrophic, but they didn’t happen,” Cochran wrote on Facebook.
In May, a similar incident was narrowly averted after Darren Harrison, a passenger with no prior flying experience, landed a plane at Palm Beach International Airport after the plane’s pilot experienced a mid-flight medical emergency.
