An Indian man walked out unscathed after a plane crash landed on a road and hit several cars including his own. 
According to an Indian Express report a small plane of the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) crash-landed in Texas, injuring one of the agents on board. The plane faced mechanical glitches and as a result, collided with several vehicles as it tried to make an emergency landing. One of those affected was Indian man, Oniel Kurup who thanked his Tesla for helping him escape unhurt. 

Sharing images of the crashed plane and wrecked car on Facebook, he wrote, "GOD and this CAR truly saved us today," adding he was with his son Aarav when the freak accident happened.
The story of his close call with danger went viral and even caught the attention of Tesla CEO Elon Musk. He responded to the story on his Twitter handle saying that he was glad that Oniel and his family were safe.

The DEA agents were conducting a flight training exercise when they had to make an emergency landing because of mechanical difficulties.
