Small Plane Makes Emergency Landing on a Busy Road in Fort Myers, Florida, Clipping a Pickup Truck; No One Hurt
FORT MYERS, Florida — A small plane carrying two pilots made an emergency landing on a busy road in North Fort Myers, Florida, on November 7 and clipped the rear of a pickup truck as it rolled along the roadway, the Lee County Sheriff's Office said. No one on board and no one in the truck was hurt.
The Cessna 172D Skyhawk had taken off from Sebring, Florida, at about 11 a.m., the sheriff's office said. Roughly 50 minutes into the flight the pilot reported an engine problem and put the aircraft down on Bayshore Road near Interstate 75, in the middle of Saturday traffic. The landing was captured on video by passing drivers.
The Federal Aviation Administration has taken the lead in investigating the forced landing. Officials have not yet said what part of the engine failed.
