Dashcam video captured the moment a United Airlines plane arriving at Newark Liberty International Airport struck a light pole and a tractor‑trailer during its approach, prompting a federal investigation.

Authorities say the incident happened Sunday afternoon as the United flight from Italy was descending toward the runway. A landing tire and the underside of the aircraft struck a light pole and a tractor‑trailer traveling on the New Jersey Turnpike near Interchange 14 in Newark.

State Police say troopers responded to the scene at 1:58 p.m. The pole broke on impact and then struck a Jeep that was also traveling on the Turnpike.

The driver of the tractor‑trailer suffered non‑life‑threatening injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. No injuries were reported among passengers or crew members on the aircraft, and the plane landed safely.

The Federal Aviation Administration has launched an investigation into the incident. Authorities say the crash remains under investigation and no additional details are available at this time.

Gov. Mikie Sherrill said she has been briefed on the incident involving United Flight 169 and expressed relief that everyone aboard the aircraft was unharmed. She said United is investigating how the incident occurred and that developments will continue to be monitored.
