Two flying cars had a mid-air collision in China on Tuesday, causing one to catch fire when it hit the ground.
The incident, which reportedly left one person injured, took place during a rehearsal for the Changchun Air Show in the north-eastern Jilin Province.
The Xpeng Aeroht flying cars, or electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicles, crashed into each other due to “insufficient spacing” in the sky, according to a company statement.
“All personnel at the scene are safe, and local authorities have completed on-site emergency measurers in an orderly manner,” the statement read, however CNN reported that an unnamed company employee had revealed that one of the pilots sustained minor injuries.
Videos on social media show appear to show one of the flying cars in flames with smoke billowing from it after crashing to the ground at the airfield.
