Plane lands in highway in Sao Paulo State

The experience and luck of a pilot averted a minor tragedy in Sao Paulo State this Tuesday. A small plane carrying the pilot and two passengers had to make an emergency landing in a highway near the city of Sao Roque, after the plane's engine lost power in mid-air. Without any other option for landing the plane safely, the pilot chose a section in the highway he deemed to be 'less busy,' and successfully completed the landing. Nobody was hurt, and the plane only suffered a minor dent when one of its wings hit a traffic sign on the side of the highway. The plane had undergone all its regularly scheduled maintenance checks, and no reason for the power outage had been found yet as of Tuesday night.
