This is the shocking moment a light aircraft crash lands and flips over as the pilot attempts to set it down on a lakeside road.
The footage, captured in Norheimsund, Norway, shows the small plane approaching the road from across a lake.
All seems well as it descends, but just as the plane reaches the edge of the road, it catches on the ground below and tumbles into a crash landing.

The small plane hits the ground with its right wheel and twists to the side, momentarily perching on its wing.

A cyclist is then seen cautiously passing by the plane – just yards from the crash site.
A 61-year-old pilot was reportedly in the plane when it crashed, but he is said to have only suffered minor injuries.
