Dramatic footage has captured how a plane collided with a truck as it tried to take off on a road in Russia.
The pilot was taken to hospital after his single engine aircraft crashed into the vehicle on Monday.
He managed to escape with minor injuries.
Video taken by a resident in Chechnya showed the plane plough into the back of truck which was parked by the side of the road.
Moments before the smash, cars travelling in the opposite direction can be seen swerving out of the way of the plane as it taxied along the road.
According to local traffic police, the driver of the damaged van was not inside at the moment of the crash.
