Frank and Heather Laudo got a surprise recently as they drove by the Northwest Regional Airport in Roanoke, Texas. The couple's Volvo XC90 (http://www.autoblog.com/volvo/xc90) was struck by a small aircraft (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/aircraft/) coming in for a landing. Student pilot William Davis clipped the roof of the crossover with his plane's fixed landing gear, shattering glass in the vehicle and sending the plane sliding into a field. Davis' wife captured the whole event on film. Neither the pilot nor his instructor were harmed in the collision, though the Laudos were transported to a local area hospital for minor injuries.
WPTV News Channel 5 (http://www.wptv.com/dpp/news/world/plane-hits-suv-video-william-davis-at-northwest-regional-airport-in-roanoke-texas-clips-suv) reports the accident is the latest in a spate of incidents at the Northwest Regional Airport. In September, an instructor and student died in a crash shortly after takeoff, while October saw a pilot crash his biplane into a neighboring field. He was treated for minor injuries. Prior to that, a family of four died in a crash after taking off from the airfield. An instructor at the airport says the events are unrelated to each other. The Federal Aviation Administration (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/federal+aviation+administration/) is currently investigating the latest crash. You can check out a video news report on the event below (http://www.motorgen.com/2012/11/06/small-plane-gives-volvo-buzz-cut-on-landing/#continued).Continue reading Small plane gives Volvo buzz cut on landing (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/11/06/small-plane-gives-volvo-buzz-cut-on-landing/)
