The pilot, a 27-year-old man, and his passenger, also 27, were not hurt in the emergency landing.

The driver of the Toyota Camry was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

The light aircraft was a fixed-wing multi-engine Beechcraft 55. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is now investigating the crash.

“Glad everyone survived. The plane simply ran out of lift and fell on the car,” one person wrote online.

“That could have been way worse,” wrote another.

Others joked that the Toyota Camry driver will face an interesting conversation as he described the incident to his insurer.
