A newly released dashcam video shows the moment a plane crashed onto a crowded Interstate 75 in Naples, Florida, last week, killing both pilots.

The Bombardier Challenger 600 business jet slammed into the roadway right after the pilot calmly radioed air traffic controllers that the aircraft lost both engines and “was not going to make the runway.”

Video shows the plane skidding across the roadway before slamming into a wall and bursting into flames.

Witnesses said the plane crashed into two cars on the road before hitting the wall.

“The plane was over our heads by inches,” Brianna Walker told The Associated Press. “It’s seconds that separated us from the car in front of us. The wing pulverized this one car.”

The pilot also said the aircraft wasn’t going to make it to the runway. (Alfonso Del Nodal/Local News X/TMX)

The pilot was identified as Edward Daniel Murphy, 50, of Oakland Park, Florida, and his co-pilot as Ian Frederick Hofmann, 65, of Pompano Beach, Florida.
