Mooney hits car during emergency landing

Submitted
 
As you can see the Mooney faired better than the Ford Fusion... Following a loss of engine power, the aircraft overtook and impacted a vehicle during a force landing to a roadway west of Hawley Municipal Airport (04Y), in Hawley, Minnesota. The airplane sustained minor damage and the motor vehicle was substantially damaged. There were no injuries (www.kare11.com) More...

Unsuspecting Driver Gets Ford Slashed By Airplane Propeller 

No, a Sliced Fusion isn't a sushi roll from the crappy Japanese restaurant down the street, and those shark gills aren't stick-on air vents from Pep Boys. This sliced Fusion was the result of a single-engine, propeller driven Mooney making an emergency landing on a Minnesota highway after the engine decided to quit shortly after takeoff.

Next year Ford will put louvers on the side to match the prop marks.
