Florida Plane Crash Video: A small plane crashed on a busy United States highway on Monday night, resulting in a brief traffic jam. According to the report, the aircraft crashed and landed on a busy Florida highway, slamming into a car and causing massive traffic chaos. The single-engine Beechcraft 55, carrying two 27-year-olds, was forced to make an emergency landing on Interstate 95 near Orlando after the pilot reported engine trouble, as per media reports.

The aircraft came down directly onto a Toyota Camry stuck in traffic, leaving the 57-year-old driver with minor injuries. She was taken to a hospital, while the pilot and the passenger were miraculously unharmed during the deadly accident.

Photos from the scene showed debris scattered across the road, emergency crews surrounding the wreckage, and the plane perched on a median barrier between lanes. One of Florida’s busiest highways had to be shut down, triggering long traffic jams as officials worked to clear the area.

Another plane makes emergency landing in Florida

The dramatic incident came just hours after another small plane made an emergency landing in Florida. That aircraft went down at the intersection of Plymouth Avenue and Jacobs Road near DeLand High School on Monday afternoon, injuring two people. One was airlifted to a hospital, while the other was taken by ambulance. Photos showed skid marks and debris scattered across the road, with the plane lying on its side.

Authorities closed Jacobs Road for several hours while clearing the second crash site.

UPS put profits over safety before plane crash that killed 14, lawyer alleges

 A deadly UPS cargo plane crash in Kentucky stemmed from corporate choices that favored profits over safety, according to a lawyer who filed two wrongful death lawsuits on Wednesday, which allege the company kept flying older aircraft without increasing maintenance beyond what’s regularly scheduled.

Last month’s fiery crash happened during takeoff after the plane’s left engine detached, and cracks were later found where the engine connected to the wing, the National Transportation Safety Board said. The lawsuit also names General Electric, which made the plane’s engine. Both UPS and GE said they don’t comment on pending lawsuits but safety remains their top priority as they assist the federal investigation.
