In pictures |  A plane makes an emergency landing on a highway

The plane made an emergency landing Thursday on a highway in western North Carolina.

An in-flight camera captured the entire scene of the unprecedented incident.

The pilot involved, Vincent Fraser, encountered difficulties in flight, so he had no choice but to perform a tricky maneuver.

The man got his pilot’s license last October and has just under 100 hours of flying experience under his belt.

During the events, Vincent was with his uncle observing his property on the edge of Lake Fontana from the air.

The pilot described how he reacted when his plane began a silent descent.

“I went to check my aviation documents and it allowed me to take control of the plane temporarily, but the plane was only flying for three to five seconds. Then the plane continued to descend,” he said.

The pilot is facing serious problems: he is in the mountainous region of the state.

The only option available to get off safely is to get off on a busy highway during summer.

“When landing on the road, my main concern is not to hurt or kill anyone,” the pilot told CNN.

After landing safely, he said he would never forget July 7, 2022.

The man will regain control of his plane this week to return home to Florida.
