(WJLA) &#8212; A small plane crashed near Route 50 and Church Road in Bowie at approximately 3:45 p.m. on Monday, injuring three people and snarling traffic for hours. Carderal Jones held his breath as the now mangled Mooney single-engine plane swept across the top of a truck and took a nose-dive into the emergency shoulder. &#8220;Right over my head,&#8221; Jones said. &#8220;Policeman told me if I had been in an 18 wheeler, it would have took this right off.&#8221; But it was the cries from the plane’s front passenger seat that sent him racing into the wreckage. &#8220;She was just screaming, screaming, screaming,&#8221; he describes. &#8220;We couldn&#8217;t pull her out because we didn&#8217;t know what happened to her.&#8221; The pilot was badly injured, while in the backseat, another man was so shocked that he kept repeating: &#8220;I think both of my knees are busted open&#8230;I think both of my knees are broken.&#8221; The three were trapped inside the aircraft until crews later cut away the top of the plane in order to free them.<br />
