A small plane crash-landed on a busy road in Phoenix, Arizona, on Sunday afternoon, resulting in minor injuries to three individuals on board. The incident involved a Republic RC-3 plane, which made an emergency landing near 7th Street and Missouri Avenue. The pilot, who has over 40 years of flying experience, managed to avoid power lines and find a clear landing spot, according to Phoenix Fire Captain DJ Lee. The plane struck a water main during the landing but did not hit any vehicles or buildings. Roads in the area were closed for several hours as emergency crews worked to remove the plane and repair the water main. The Federal Aviation Administration is set to investigate the cause of the emergency landing.
