A startled driver caught the moment a plane landed on a highway in front of his moving car.

The pilot made a miraculous landing, using the dual carriageway as a makeshift runway and safely bringing the plane to a halt on the hard shoulder.

Lupski posted the video to his YouTube channel and Facebook page, where it quickly racked up nearly 60,000 views in a matter of hours.
