As it slid, it split into three separate pieces.
Luckily there were no passengers aboard, but sadly four of it's twelve crew members were killed in the crash.
Part of the Vnukovo airport, as well as the highway, were closed while the investigation and clean up took place.
The plane was a Tu-204, about the size of 757, and was operated by Red Wings, a Russian carrier.
This was the first major accident for the Tu-204s, which were produced in the 1990s.
