Two men walked away unhurt from a small airplane after it clipped a tree and spun around as the pilot tried to make an emergency landing on Keene Road, deputies said. Pilot Marc Benedict, 61, and passenger Gregory Guinee, 55, of Clearwater, were not injured when the single-engine, four-seat Rockwell Commander 112 crashed about 10:25 a.m. Sunday along Keene Road at Sunset Point Road, said Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Cpl. Daniel DiFrancesco. Benedict experienced engine trouble as he was returning to Clearwater Air Park from Zephyrhills Municipal Airport, DiFrancesco said. He had taken off for Zephyrhills about 9 a.m. and took off about 10 a.m. for the return trip. Benedict reported engine trouble while flying southwest over On Top of the World, a 55-plus community in Clearwater, and attempted to land on Keene Road.
The left wing hit a tree in the road’s median, causing the plane to spin around and come to a stop on a sidewalk. An investigation is under way but deputies said there was no indication of impairment. The Federal Aviation Administration was scheduled to take overe the probe. Keene Road was expected to be blocked until the plane could be towed away. Wayne Owens, 49, heard the crash from his house on Bentley Street, just one house away from where the plane landed. Owens, an electrician, thought it was a car crash before he noticed the downed tree and mangled plane. He’s heard of other plane crashes nearby. “I feel very uneasy about it,” he said. “I didn’t think about it until after I bought the place that we’re right in the direct line of the airport.”

Kind of GTA7's graphic i think…
Please more GTA comments they're so original
Was this in fort myers Florida?
That got someone out of a traffic ticket haha
CNN: Florida man lands his plane in the middle of the road
This is exactly what I pictured Florida to be like
So that's why my coke was delayed.
For the love of god, take as much time as humanly possible. That way, more people could die. Don't, whatever you do, rush in to save those on board.
Just got a YouTube ad for some bullshit battery pack on your channel. If they're running ads they should be paying you.
watch yo yet bro
Cops just chilling to pull someone over ..pilot: hold my beer
Didn't exactly stick that landing.
That's me in GTA whenever i see a car i need, but am in a plane :D!
Video didnt "capture" shit
It's a bird… it's a plane… holyshit it's a plane
The pilot survived with minor injuries, Policeman then proceeded to pepper spray and taser the plane.
I sure hope they cited that pilot for illegal parking.
gta 6 footage leaked
Inspired by top gun
Pilot probably saw an oncoming car 😑 Tough decision to make – risk killing innocent people in a vehicle to save your own life, or veer knowing your odds of survival just took a shit. Lucky there’s nothing but fields out where I fly 😑
I have a 10-WTF out on Madison.
Officer did the right move to quickly block the highway at the end.
the cop was in the way and the pilot panicked/overcorrected his emergency landing, smh
That’s something ya don’t see everyday.
Well…assuming the time stamps were correct…at least the pilot was courteous enough to crash early in the shift and not force OT.
So nobody is gonna talk about the clickbait thumbnail…they photoshopped the plane to look alot more centered then it actually went
Chuck Norris landing a plane… nothing unusual here!
Ok enough GTA dude
Way to miss the shot at the moment of truth
America is one massive GTA
Just put it anywhere…
Have you been drinking and flying sir?
Only in Florida
I'd bet that he was low on fuel and saw a makeshift runway
Florida Man strikes again
That's how I usually land a plane on Ghost Recon Wildlands.
Any landing you can walk away from…
Harrison Ford? 😀
