The video was recorded on trooper Clint Thompson¡¯s dashcam, who was on patrol in the east side of the county. According to the trooper, he witnessed the plane making an emergency landing, but he had no prior knowledge that the pilot was having any kind of complications.
According to reports, Thompson was able to make an emergency u-turn, activate his lights and slow traffic so that the pilot could safely land the plane.
In the video, one can see the pilot, jumping out of the plane and pulling it off to the side of the road with the help of Thompson. After a few seconds in the video, you can also see the plane waiting at the traffic light which is quite funny.

On March 12, around 11 am, a small plane - Sirrus SR20 - that had one female passenger along with a male pilot, skidded across the highway near Buttonville Airport in Markham, Ontario. Thankfully, nobody on the road was hurt, but the pilot and the passenger on the plane suffered minor injuries.
