Six passengers and two crew members were on board the Beechcraft plane, according to Malaysia’s civil aviation authority. The unfortunate trip had been headed from Langkawi to Selangor, which is located west of the nation’s capital, Kuala Lumpur.

According to the Selangor police chief, the aircraft’s failure to maintain contact with the air traffic control tower played a part in the tragic disaster.

The unfortunate accident happened just before 3 p.m. local time when the private plane was just about to complete its landing when it plunged onto the highway.

The terrifying footage of the plane rushing towards the ground with incredible speed was taken by a dashcam. The accident and impact caused a cataclysmic explosion that erupted into a wide wave of ferocious flames that enveloped the highway.
