A single-engine plane landed on U.S. Route 1 in Sanford, North Carolina, Thursday after having engine trouble. The plane also struck at least one car as it descended to the asphalt.

In this image provided by the Moncure, N.C., Fire Department, emergency personnel and law enforcement look over the scene after a small plane, experiencing engine problems, made an emergency landing along Route 1, Thursday afternoon, April 4, 2024, in Moncure, …

Reports first came in about the plane in distress at around 3:55 p.m., the North Carolina State Highway Patrol told WNCN-TV. “I mean, he was probably like three feet off the ground when I saw him, so I don’t think he had very long to go. And, there was no big explosion or anything behind me, but you could tell like the traffic on both sides was kind of, you know, freaking out about it, but he had like a whole line of cars behind him,” witness Chris Sealey, who was driving southbound, told WRAL-TV.
