Piper Cherokee Emergency Landing near KSNA

Dashcam captures the landing plane as it passes through an intersection (with a green light!)...

Looks like it was about a week ago...always be looking for a place to land.

A whole lotta luck came into play there but that was some display of Pilotage and airmanship.

As you said...through the green like a BOSS!

Lots of luck in their being a suitable street, a green light, and relatively light traffic...but staying calm and flying the plane all the way to the ground rather than the very common stall a few hundred feet above the ground was all skill and discipline. Hats off to the pilot on this one.
