A plane crash on a busy California freeway certainly caused for some serious traffic delays, but video from the incredible scene shows just how lucky the pilot and passenger were to escape.

The footage, obtained by TMZ, shows billows of black smoke towering above the crash on the 91 freeway in Corona, CA Tuesday. Surrounding drivers were forced to slow down and pull over, after a witness says the plane “blew up” on impact.

You can see the plane’s pilot and passenger escape the flaming wreckage, sprinting away as the whole vessel becomes engulfed. … luckily, authorities say both people riding in the plane escaped uninjured.

The flames have also since been put out, but there’s some serious cleanup still to do to clear everything out.
