A plane crashed on Shallowford Road Tuesday evening, narrowly missing nearby traffic. The two passengers aboard the single-engine aircraft sustained only minor injuries.
The Chattanooga Fire Department stated that the individuals are “very lucky to be alive.”
The engine reportedly failed, causing the plane to crash about half a mile from the Chattanooga Airport runway. A small fuel leak was also contained, as seen in a video of the damages.
As a result, Shallowford Road was closed overnight. The FAA is investigating the accident.
