In an unbelievable and miraculous escape, a pilot and passenger emerged without any significant injuries after surviving a severe crash of their light aircraft amid a busy road.

The powered glider of the two "stalled and nose-dived" over the A419 at around 4:45 pm (local time) on Tuesday (August 27) in Gloucestershire.

After the crash, two shocked occupants were seen sitting amid the wreckage as one of the wings of the vehicle was broken off from the main body of the aeroplane.

Because of the crash, there were major disruptions on the road as it was closed by the police in both directions because of which long queues of the cars were seen at the accident site.

The emergency services reached the site to help the two people involved in the crash and the Great Western Air Ambulance's crew was called near the downed aircraft.

Both the pilot and passenger did not suffer serious injuries. An onlooker said that it "looked like it stalled and nose-dived into the main road".
