USA: a private plane had to land on the highway due to an emergency. The aircraft collided with an SUV. The picture
An unusual accident, the one that happened in United States, on the evening of December 2nd. The story unfolded just before 9.30pm local time on Interstate 35W, near Harden Hills, in Minnesota.
A’private plane was forced to a emergency landing on the highway, due to an engine malfunction, and then crashed into a SUV. Not even the experience of the professional aerobatic pilot who was at the yoke could avoid him clash. However, fortunately, none of the three involved suffered serious consequences, only feeling a great fear.

Two people were traveling on the plane, including Unlimited Aerobatic Team member pilot Craig Gifford, 52 years old. The team took part in the last two FAI World Aerobatic Championships, managing to win a bronze medal in South Africa three years ago.
It was precisely in a potentially tragic circumstance that all the qualities of an experienced driver emerged. Indeed, as Experimental Aircraft Association spokesman Dick Knapinski explained in an interview with Star Tribune, the pilots are prepared to face critical situations and, therefore, the type of training and the skill of Gifford certainly served to limit the damage.
