ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- A small twin-engine plane landed on the Thruway northbound by Exit 23 in Albany. You can see the plane on the Thruway in the video above. New York State Police confirmed to NEWS10 that three people were on board the plane and no injuries were reported. The plane was traveling from South Carolina and landed on the Thruway after encountering engine trouble. “The pilot realized he was not going to successfully reach the airport. Observed the thruway down below and decided to make an emergency landing. So, he successfully landed the plane, amazingly without striking any vehicles,” said Major Andre Ray, Major, with the New York State Police. The plane has since been moved and both lanes on the Thruway are back open. However, New York State Police are advising drivers to avoid all unnecessary interstate travel due to icy road conditions. "This is very unique for a plane to land successfully on the Thruway not striking any cars and nobody injured," said Ray. Another plane had to make an emergency landing at the Albany International Airport about an hour later. According to the Airport, the plane had a nose gear alert, which was checked and no issue was found. The plane landed safely.
