United plane hits truck at Newark

Federal authorities are investigating a terrifying incident at Newark Airport where a commercial flight narrowly avoided a major disaster.

Dashcam footage captured the moment the aircraft's landing gear struck a delivery truck on the New Jersey Turnpike during its final approach.

The impact caused significant damage to the vehicle and a nearby light pole, but the plane was able to touch down without further incident.

The NTSB is now reviewing the 'Stadium Visual' landing route, which has long been criticized by pilots for its difficulty and proximity to highway traffic.
