Dashcam records plane landing on busy California street

IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 23 (UPI) -- A California motorist's dashboard camera captured the moment a small plane made an emergency landing on a busy road.

The video, uploaded to YouTube by user CalicoStrike, shows the plane zoom through an Irvine intersection while making an emergency landing.

"Are you kidding me?" a voice in the video says.

Irvine Police spokeswoman Farrah Emami said the Piper Cherokee aircraft landed on a street near John Wayne Airport about 6:18 p.m. Sept. 16.

Orange Coast College officials said the plane was carrying an instructor and a student at the time of the incident. OOC Dean of Technology Daniel Schrader said the plane's engine failed.

"The plane wasn't high enough to be able to land back on the air strip it had just taken off from and was forced to land on the nearest open space," Schrader told Coast Report Online.

There were no injuries stemming from the incident.
