ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - A small plane crossed Fifth Avenue in Anchorage on Friday after leaving the runway at Merrill Field.

Dashcam video obtained by Alaska’s News Source shows a propeller-driven Alaska Air Transit plane leaving the runway at Merrill Field that runs adjacent to Fifth Avenue and crossing the road. It does not appear to collide with any vehicles.

Data publicly available on FlightRadar shows an Alaska Air Transit plane landing at Merrill Field shortly before 4 p.m. The company provides flight service to Tatitlek around that time, something that the flight data shows.

An operations dispatch employee at Alaska Air Transit confirmed to Alaska’s News Source that a “situation” had occurred but declined further comment.
