This the incredible moment a man walks away from the wreckage after crash-landing his plane on a US highway.

Video captured on May 22 on the I-90 in Montana shows the moment a small aircraft slammed into the tarmac in an incident that left the shaken pilot with nothing but a cut on his hand.

The filmer claims he saw a shadow of a plane travelling over his car but could not immediately see a plane.

He added: "Approximately four to five miles later I notice what looked to be a glider flying low over the freeway.

"He continued to follow the freeway up through the canyon. I thought this was odd as I've never seen a glider in this area before.

"I continued to follow the plane it continued to go lower and lower."

After the plane hits the tarmac, the filmer and another driver head over to assist the pilot.

"We asked him to look at us to check if he was in shock.

"He said he was OK, stood up in the cockpit and walked to the k-rail."

Footage of the wreckage of the plane shows that its nose has been completely destroyed and one of the wings had also been snapped.

According to local reports, the pilot was taken to hospital but it thought to be largely unharmed.

I was returning from a company branch in MT.
And I noticed a shadow of a plane crossing over my truck but didn't see a plane.
Approx 4-5 Miles later I notice what looked to be a glider flying low over freeway. He continued to follow the freeway up through the canyon.
I thought this was odd as I've never seen a glider in this area before.
I continued to follow the plane it continued to go lower and lower.
I decided something was wrong and something bad was about to happen.
I took out my phone and started to video plane.As he got lower I put my emergency flashers on and tried to give him room as it looked like he was trying to land on freeway.
At the last second a black pickup passed me and pilot thought he was going to hit that truck and he veered to left the east bound lanes of freeway and creashed.
I pulled over asap as did black pickup and both jumped the meridian guards to the plane to help piolot if we could.
Traffic was stopped because of debris in road.The other bystander was with piolot as I removed all I could of debris wings tail section.
Went to piolot to offer help to get out of plane. We asked him to look at us to check if he was in shock.
He said he was ok stood up in cockpit and walked to krail
I had him sit up against the krail
I noticed there was a fire in engine and asked if anyone had fire extinguisher someone said yes and ran to get it He came back and put the fire out.
He asked for his phone and tried to get up to get it I told him to stay seated and I would get it for him . He told me we're it was in cockpit and I retreved it and brought it to him.there was no cell service a bystander asked where they were and I said and pointed to Montana Idaho boarder mile marker 0. That would be closet place to get cell service . The piolot said he wanted to call for help.
At that point myself and one other bystander put out emergency triangles. as traffic was moving swiftly .
I continued to direct traffic to slow down till emergency crew arrived About 45 min later. That freeway is A 70 mile hr zone.
