Plane hits truck while landing at Newark airport, chilling dashcam video shows what happened

The chilling dashcam video revealed the exact moments when a United Airlines flight landing at Newark Liberty International Airport hit a streetlight and a tractor-trailer on the nearby highway in a bizarre accident on Sunday. A Boeing 767 was flying from Venice, Italy, to Newark with more than 200 passengers and 10 crew members. The truck driver was hurt but with non-life-threatening injuries and the plane landed normally with no one hurt.
