Indian American father and son unhurt when their car was hit by a small plane

Indian American father and son escaped unhurt when their Tesla Model-X car was hit by a small plane near Sugarland Airport in Texas, September 19

Oneil Kurup, who escaped unhurt with his son Arav wrote on Facebook: ‘Many saw this on the news just now. And I'm getting calls with concerns about our safety. Want to let all my friends and family know that Aarav and I are completely fine.. GOD and this CAR truly saved us today. Not a scratch on us. No one believed me when I called them to let them know a plane crashed into me. Tesla, people thought It was a prank call. Wife laughed at me at first.. Jokes aside, this was a serious matter, I saw my life flash in that minute. A second is all it takes. #God #Tesla #Prayers #Elonmusk’

The single engine Cessna plane of the Drug Enforcement Agency had enhine problems and the pilot decided to land on road. Three people were onboard for the training mission and one was hurt in the crash. He was released later from hospital

The single-engine Cessna plane was supposed to land at Sugar Land Regional Airport around 3 p.m., but instead crashed into a power line before reportedly hitting two cars, according to Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Lynn Lunsford.
The plane clipped power lines and struck several cars when it plunged onto Voss Road, west of Highway 6. The Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office tweeted the plane was leaking fuel, but didn't catch fire, according to Houston Chronicle.

The Cessna was heavily damaged, with the tail section nearly severed from the rest of the airplane. Kurup’s white Tesla Model X suffered damage to the left front ahead of the driver’s door. Both falcon-wing doors continued to operate normally after the crash. After a tweet, Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted his own tweet, which said, ’Wow, glad they’re ok!”

‘Imagine you’re just driving down Voss Road in Fort Bend County and all the sudden an aircraft strikes your vehicle,” Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls told the Houston Chronicle. ‘That would be enough to put me in cardiac arrest. We are very fortunate that this was not much more catastrophic than what it was,” he said.

Dhuha Bazzaz, who lives near the crash site, told the Chronicle her neighbors thought the sound of the crash was like a lightning strike. ‘It’s a horrible thing. It landed during school time, the are kids around,” Bazzaz said. ‘People are out of their home at that time. It’s rush-hour.”
