Miraculously, the driver only sustained minor injuries and was treated for them at the hospital.<\/p>\n

Speaking to KOMO News<\/a>, Chuck Paterakis, the senior vice president of Transportation & Logistics and co-principal at H&S Bakery, revealed that the trailer was completely unharmed by the collision.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo me, that everybody on that plane, everybody and the driver, God was looking after them, there\u2019s no doubt. If we did that scenario again, I don\u2019t know if anybody could\u2019ve survived that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccording to Paterakis, the plane was preparing to land in Newark when the incident took place. United Airlines Flight 169 struck a light pole on the New Jersey Turnpike while returning from Venice, Italy,\u201d the outlet reported.<\/p>\n

The driver surviving proves he has a guardian angel. Incredible.<\/p>\n

Oh this guy is lucky as hell to survive this. He\u2019s gonna get a massive settlement. Thank god the plane didn\u2019t crash. A 767 clips your truck and you survive?! \"\ud83d\ude26\" is absolutely insane<\/p>\n

I hope everyone is OK. But as an Old aircraft technician, you wouldn\u2019t catch me on a commercial aircraft and never Newark.<\/p>\n

How does a bakery truck even end up that close to the runway path. Feels like United needs better ground radar or NJ Turnpike traffic control right there. Wild close call for everyone involved.<\/p>\n
