Plane makes miraculous emergency landing on busy Florida road

A white single-engine plane touches down on a divided road in Fort Myers, Florida, with cars still moving alongside it. Footage shared by 7NEWS Australia captures the landing from inside a passing vehicle, then follows the aircraft as it rolls down the road and stops.

According to the broadcaster, the Cessna 172 made the emergency landing on Saturday. Its report says the aircraft narrowly avoided colliding with cars and that both pilots and all drivers were uninjured.

The short clip shows the approach to a stop rather than an explanation of what forced the aircraft down. After the first sequence, the landing plays again without the lower news banner, giving viewers another look at the plane's arrival beside traffic.

The video drew roughly 140,000 views since yesterday, making it 7NEWS Australia's most watched new upload over that period.
