An aircraft pilot with limited experience made a difficult emergency landing on the highway amid vehicular traffic in North Carolina because the engine had started to fail. Vince Fraser, 31, who has less than 100 hours of flight time, lost power to the engine of his 1967 Aero Commander single-engine plane, and struggled to find a suitable location to set the aircraft down in the dense forests of Swain County, located in the southern Appalachian mountains of North Carolina. Fraser, the pilot, was flying a single-engine aircraft from Fontana Lake in Swain County with his father-in-law. But then his engine started to fail.

Fraser flew the plane under power lines and approached the highway. He pointed the plane’s nose down to pick up speed, passing cars underneath in the process. He then set the plane down on its wheels on Highway 19 just west of the T.A. Sandlin Memorial Bridge over the Little Tennessee River. The cars behind him had slowed down. People were soon gathering around his plane, which came to a rest safely on the highway — and directly in front of a stop sign,.
