Looping plane collides with family in car

The Local EXCERPT:
A spectacular collision between a low-flying sport airplane and a car left five people injured in Bavaria on Sunday, saved from death by what police called “a few guardian angels.”
The 45-year-old biplane pilot had reportedly been looping the plan near an airfield in Großostheim when he dove so low that he skimmed a field of grain. At the last moment he tried to bring the plane up but instead hit a car driving on the airfield road, police said.
<<<SNIP>>>
Three passengers in the car – a married couple and their 10-year-old daughter – also suffered only minor injuries. A passing biker who witnessed the accident was treated for shock, fire fighters reported.
