A DHL Boeing 737 lost control upon landing this morning, skidding off the runway at Bergamo Airport (IATA: BGY) and crashing through barriers onto a public road.
Shocking photographs snapped by horrified motorists show the nose of the ASL Airlines cargo jet resting on the ring road as it came to a stop during a thunderstorm.
The flight, which had arrived from Paris, smashed into the fence at Bergamo Airport (also known as Orio Al Serio) in Northern Italy.
It carried on all the way down the runway until the nose of the plane broke through barriers to a surrounding ring road.
Fortunately, the incident happened at around 4am and there were very few cars present.
The aircraft a Boeing 737-476 with the registration HA-FAX (CN 24437) belongs to ASL Airlines.
Miraculously the three crew members on board and all road users were unharmed.
