A cargo plane crashed into a road in Italy after overshooting the runway at Bergamo’s Orio al Serio international airport early Friday.

The Boeing 737-400, belonging to courier firm DHL, landed at 4:07 a.m. local time after traveling from Paris Charles de Gaulle to Bergamo, northeast of Milan, according to the Guardian. Photos on social media show the jet resting across a two-lane road at the end of the runway.

Remarkably, no casualties were reported and the crew escaped unharmed.

Officials reopened the airport several hours after the incident, Reuters reports.
