Aaron Meccann had pulled his car over to sync his Bluetooth when the small plane crashed and slid 250 feet into the rear end of his Nissn vehicle. According to reports, there was no landing gear deployed on the plane, and it may have been dealing with mechanical problems.


A 38-year-old woman in the back passenger seat of the car was crushed to death. The driver and 2 other passengers in the car were taken to local hospitals, as was the 60-year-old pilot of the plane.
