No one was injured in the incident Wednesday night.
The Florida Highway patrol says the pilot began having engine problems with his 1972 Grumman plane around 7 p.m. and decided to land on Interstate 95 near Edgewater, which is about 20 miles south of Daytona Beach. The 61-year-old pilot, Glenn Wade, managed to maneuver onto a stretch of interstate where no cars were.
The plane was moved to a shoulder, and all lanes of the Interstate remained open while Wade and another pilot inspected it.
After they determined it was safe to fly, troopers blocked traffic on the interstate around 8:45 p.m. to allow the plane to taxi and take off.
