Small plane strikes SUV before crash landing near Highway 59 in Shepherd, DPS says

The pilot and two passengers and the driver of the SUV were not hurt, the Department of Public Safety said. A career pilot called the outcome "miraculous."

Not to be rude I am a pilot myself and the plane literally did what it was designed to do. Single engine planes are built with magnetos so in case there is electrical failure the plane can safely land without crashing. So all the applause to the pilot when the plane literally did what it was supposed to do LOL. My best guess is that the flight was overweight because the report mentioned there were three people and we have to remember the rules of weights.

Awesome pilot skills! That poor SUV driver...I'd have been so freaked out.

These small plane crashes are getting more and more frequent. Probably privately owned, ill maintained and poorly trained pilots causing damage to others property. This is what it will be like if we allow everyone private, flying cars and delivery drones everywhere. Malfunctioning, unregulated, privately owned and not inspected like commercial airlines falling out of the sky on homes, business, highways just like these small, private planes. Heck even a military jet landed on houses in tx a few months ago for goodness sake. I don't know if these private planes have to be inspected, but if not they need to be.
