Interstate 84: Plane makes emergency landing on US road | Interstate 84: Plane makes emergency landing on US road |
(about 2 hours later) | |
A plane has made an emergency landing on a motorway in the US state of Idaho, just at the start of the busy morning commute. | |
The pilot of the single-engine aircraft was headed toward Boise Airport when he encountered a problem with the fuel tanks and the engine stopped working. | |
The plane "belly" landed on Interstate 84 - about a mile from the airport - without its landing gear deployed. | |
No-one was hurt in the crash, which snarled traffic for several hours. | |
Andy Patrick, owner of Boise-based charter business SP Aircraft, said the pilot was the only one on board the plane. | |
Mr Patrick said the plane, which was travelling from Seattle, Washington, was hauling cargo. |
