One pilot got more than he bargained for in Texas, when another plane decided to hitch a ride.

As one of the small aeroplanes came in to land, it hooked onto another trying to take off.

The aircraft got a little too close for comfort as shocked onlookers watched the landing.

It is believed the landing gear of the second plane became wedged into the wings of the plane on which it landed.

The plane crash in Texas

No-one was seriously hurt in the incident.

Officials say a single-engine plane was getting ready for takeoff on a runway at Northwest Regional Airport when a second aircraft came down on top of it.

There is no control tower at the airfield in Roanoke. Pilots transmit their locations over a radio frequency.

The cause of the collision is being investigated.
