Helmet cam footage from a skydiver captured an intense crash landing after a mechanical malfunction forced the plane to the ground near Lodi airport in California on Thursday.

The clip begins just as the the plane approaches a field to make an emergency landing.

 At first the landing seems successful, but the plane eventually flips, and the camera goes dark as the people inside scramble to escape the wreckage. 

The Cessna 208B was carrying 18 people at the time of the crash. No one was seriously injured,KCRA reports.

"We flew up, and then something happened. And then we're landing, and everything's crashing and everything's rolling. And then boom, we're on the ground upside down," Yuri Garmashov told KCRA. "Everything's dark. People start yelling, 'Get out. Get out. Get out.'"

It's not visible in the footage, but Cindy Martin claims the plane clipped her pickup truck prior to landing in the field.

"I saw a plane coming down right at us. And I told my husband, 'That plane is going to hit us,'" Martin told KCRA. "Sure enough, it came right at us and clipped our back end enough to just really feel a good bump, and then it went out into the vineyard and flipped over."

The FAA is still trying to determine what caused the crash, but the owner of the plane says that it was a propulsion issue. 

“At this point it is under investigation,” National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Keith Holloway told the Sacramento Bee on Friday. “Once we have access to the aircraft, we will conduct the physical examination of the aircraft.”
