"Sir, we were willing to cut you some slack with that Rhino story, but now? Yeah, you expect us to believe a PLANE ran the red light? *click*"

#3, The aircraft's rate of descent was greater than its forward momentum, causing it to enter the path of the traveling automobile, which in turn had a forward momentum greater than its rate of negative acceleration.
My non-smartass response, however, if that I don't know the story on this one.

Well... the date on the pic is probably the date of the accident. October 15, 1958. Lemme go check the CAB database and see if anything turns up an accident with what looks like a C-130

Bingo: A USAF Fairchild C-123B-6-FA Provider, en route from Dobbins AFB, Georgia, to Mitchel Field, Long Island, New York, runs out of fuel and comes down on the Southern State Parkway on Long Island while attempting emergency landing at Zahn's Airport at North Amityville, one-half mile short, injuring five, and killing one. The aircraft, with a 119 foot wingspan, passed through a 50-foot wide underpass, shearing both outer wings, the port engine, and the vertical fin, before coming to a stop on fire.

Further Trivia: An ex-Air Force C-123 converted to cargo use was featured in the flying scenes for the movie "Con Air", the aircraft was lost in a 2010 crash on a cargo flight in Alaska, killing all three crewmembers.

Further Trivia: C-123s were used in Vietnam for the infamous spraying of Agent Orange defoliant and as test beds for then experimental weapons and recon gear such as FLIR and low-light TV cameras.
Incidentally, the only fatality in the crash was one of the motorists involved, who died of head trauma. It's entirely possible that this car belonged to him. The flight crew, through injured, survived.
