Police say a small plane made an emergency landing on an interstate in Maine, struck a guardrail and ended up nose-down on the road.
The plane, piloted by John Gayley, of Bowdoin, landed in the southbound lane of Interstate 295 in Bowdoinham at about 10:15 am today. It then crashed into a guardrail off the breakdown lane.
Police say Gayley had minor facial injuries and was taken to a hospital. Passenger Rodney Voisene, of Bowdoin, received a minor arm injury and was also taken to a hospital.
The plane, a 1947 Cessna, did not hit any cars during its landing.
Police say traffic in the southbound lane will be disrupted when the plane is removed from the highway this afternoon.
