A single-engine plane made an emergency landing on a busy road in Georgia<\/a>, striking three vehicles and leaving two people with minor injuries, authorities said.<\/p>\n The Hawker Beechcraft BE-36 landed Monday on Browns Bridge Road in Gainesville, about 50 miles (80km) north-east of Atlanta, due to reported engine issues, according to the Federal Aviation Administration and Gainesville police.<\/p>\n \u201cWe lost our engine taking off out of Gainesville,\u201d pilot Thomas Rogers told WAGA-TV. \u201cWe tried to glide back, did everything by the book, but realized we weren\u2019t going to make it back with how far out we were, so we came down on the road.\u201d<\/p>\n The plane struck three cars, dislodging a fuel tank into one of them, said Kevin Holbrook, the Gainesville police captain. Two people were taken to a hospital with minor injuries, he said.<\/p>\n \u201cThe fact that they were able to land in the middle of hundreds of vehicles and only hit three of them, no power lines is very remarkable,\u201d Holbrook said, noting that the road is one of the main arteries through north-east Georgia<\/a>. \u201cThe fact that no one was seriously injured or killed is just astonishing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n #Small #plane #lands #Georgia #road #middle #hundreds #vehicles #Georgia<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A single-engine plane made an … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20519,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20518"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20518"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20518\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/20519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20518"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
