Drivers on a California freeway dealt with an extra driving challenge when a small plane crash-landed on the highway Tuesday afternoon.
No injuries were reported by the California Highway Patrol when the plane landed on the 91 Freeway in Riverside County at 12:31 p.m., according to KTLA.
Video showed the single-engine plane wobbling as is flew lower and lower until it landed on the freeway, sliding to the side of the road as it bursts into flames.
“It’s amazing nobody else was injured,” witness Edward Pajardo said, according to CBS.
“The pilot claims to have experienced possible engine failure on their final descent to Corona Municipal Airport,” CHP Capt. Levi Miller said, KTLA reported.
The plane hit a truck carrying three people, but none were hurt, police said.
Pilot Andrew Cho said his plane lost power, leading to the decision to make an emergency landing on the freeway.
