On Saturday our flight school cherokee was hit by a car and destroyed. The car stopped and pulled out on the runway in front of the airplane as it was on it's roll out. Airplane had landed and was rolling at roughly 40 mph when it hit the car. After contacting the car, the airplane spun and flipped. Thankfully no fire or serious injuries. Airplane was in the club less than a month and only had 1800 hours on it. :( Driver of car was young CFI and the airplane occupants were CFI plus student. Hell of a flight lesson.
