From news.com.au:

FIVE PEOPLE are lucky to be alive after a freak head-on crash involving a plane and a four-wheel-drive ute.

The light aircraft had just taken off from a South African runway when it plunged down towards a secluded road near Krugersdorp Airport, west of Johannesburg.
 
That is amazing, though the pilot and occupant of the plane apparently do have serious injuries, as they were trapped inside while it was on fire, so I'd expect some pretty severe burns.

Not much damage to the 4WD though. It held up pretty well.
 
Amazing story,I hope nobody is critically injured and that they get the required treatment as soon as possible.
