A Cessna 172 was approaching for a landing. The SUV driver failed to notice the aircraft was about to cross its path, and the plane crashed into the SUV. Amazingly, no one was seriously hurt.

Did the builders of this airstrip consider building it right next to a road full of cars? -.-

Lucky to alive. A fraction of second difference or a foot less of altitude and the SUV driver could easily have been decapitated by the prop, instead of the landing gear harmlessly breaking away. Passengers aboard the aircraft probably suffered very little injury from the crash due to low altitude and slow airspeed and there was no fire. Neither the pilot nor the driver seemed to have seen the other. Had the SUV braked or the pilot raised the nose this would have been just a close call.
