A vintage plane has crashed and burst into flames on a highway in LA

A vintage World War Two-era airplane crash Tuesday on the 101 freeway in Agoura Hills, California north of LA. 

Fortunately, the pilot walked away from the crash, NBC Los Angeles reported.

Photos of the crash taken by motorists show the plane's wreckage engulfed in flames on the center median. According to the KTLA, no other cars were involved in the incident. 

The City of Calabasas tweeted all lanes of the 101 freeway have been shut down. While northbound lanes of the highway are expected to be closed through late Tuesday. 

The type of aircraft and its origin has not been confirmed, but it looks to be a German WWII-era Focke-Wulf FW190 or a vintage aircraft painted to look like such.
