According to Fox News, the incident was reported from US North Carolina on July 3, where the pilot Vicent Fraser was flying a single-engine aircraft with his father-in-law.

The report said Fraser was forced to land on the four-lane highway as his plane's engine began to fail.

In the visual, the plane appears to fly close to the ground, hovering over many cars before finally making contact with the road. Luckily, the plane barely missed several power lines in its way to landing. 

The emergency landing was captured in a camera seemingly from the cockpit inside the plane.  

The video which was also shared by Swain County Sherrif in a Facebook page has garnered over a million views. Similarly, the Twitter post by Andrew James has received over 2 lakh views.
