Tesla Cameras Capture Plane's Emergency Landing at Busy San Marcos Intersection

At least two people were injured following an emergency crash landing of a single-engine plane in San Marcos, California, on Saturday, July 17, local media https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/small-plane-makes-emergency-landing-at-busy-san-marcos-intersection/2996099/ reported , citing authorities. Robert Wade captured this multiple-angle video in his Tesla Model 3 while sitting at a red light with his family at a busy intersection between Melrose Drive and Rancho Santa Fe Road. "We were sitting at a red light for about 20 seconds when I suddenly noticed the airplane heading towards us," Wade told Storyful. He said, "We all watched it, but when I saw its landing gears come down I realized what was about to happen. At first I thought it was heading straight towards us. I reacted by driving forward and to the right. I then saw what was happening and I drove through the red light and stopped a little bit ahead." The San Marcos Fire Department https://twitter.com/SMFD/status/1548480518823432204 announced several road closures in response to the incident. (Footage by Robert Wade/Storyful via Getty Images UGC)
