Cars lined the road where the plane landed.
“I’ve seen planes land all over the place, but never a plane that goes over the sky and lands on the road,” said driver Larry Hobbs.
“You go up in the air and fly a half a mile or a mile and then the next minute you see a plane land on the highway.”

Bereaved relatives tell him that his nephew was trapped in the engine after his plane crashed on the road and sent rocks and a small tree into the path of his pickup truck.
Another man and woman, which were on the ground trying to free the person trapped in the plane, were also injured, police said.
Police said two people were taken to hospital by ambulance for treatment.
