Two people have died after a small private jet plane attempted to make an emergency landing on Interstate 75 in south-west Florida on Friday afternoon, colliding with two vehicles and bringing traffic to a halt as a plume of black smoke rose into the air.
The crash landing happened near the Pine Ridge Road exit in Collier county, just north of where the interstate heads east toward Fort Lauderdale along what is known as Alligator Alley.
It occurred moments after the crashed jet’s pilots told an airport traffic controller that the plane “was not going to make the runway” after losing both engines, the Associated Press reported, citing audio the news outlet obtained.
Brianna Walker saw the wing of the plane drag the car in front of hers and slam into a wall.
“It’s seconds that separated us from the car in front of us,” she said. “The wing pulverized this one car.”
