This is the shocking moment a plane shoots past a busy road junction and makes an emergency landing during rush hour.

It was caught on the dash cam of a surprised motorist who was waiting in traffic when the four-seater Piper Cherokee came skidding past.

The amazed driver can be heard saying: "You kidding me?" as the plane races back out of view.

The driver then continues his journey, turning right at the junction and eventually sees the aircraft parked up at the side of the road.

He can't help but let out a laugh as he sees the out-of-place vehicle.

The plane had a student pilot and instructor on board when it made the emergency landing shortly after 6pm last Wednesday.

It is not known why it landed on the carriageway but it is thought it was aiming for nearby John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California.
