Caught on Camera: Small Plane's Emergency Landing on Street

Dashcam video of the Sept. 16 landing shows the plane glide through an intersection during rush-hour traffic

Dashcam video shows a small plane gliding through a busy Orange County intersection after the pilot made an emergency landing last week.

The recently posted video captures the plane as it approached John Wayne Airport. The flight instructor and student pilot aboard the plane were not injured.

No injuries were reported on the ground.

Drivers were stopped at the intersection on Red Hill Avenue in Irvine when the Piper Cherokee scooted past. An occupant of the vehicle from which the dashcam video was captured can be heard saying, "Are you kidding me?"

The driver turned right at the intersection and passed the plane, stopped on the street.
