The Rockwell Commander landed at around 9:20 a.m. after reporting engine issues, the FAA said.

The two people onboard were not injured, according to Pennsylvania State Police.

Dashcam video of the incident circulating on social media shows the plane flying low overhead before landing on the interstate and slowing down.

Emily Rivera, who posted the video, was traveling from Harrisburg to Lehigh Valley when she saw the plane make the landing.

“Honestly I was in disbelief because I never expected a plane to land in front of me!” Rivera said, adding that she was impressed with how the pilot landed.

Police said to expect delays in the area and that all traffic eastbound is being detoured onto exit 40. More information will be released later, police said.

The FAA is investigating the incident.

Police apprehended on Friday a second suspect tied to the horrific, deadly shooting of 7-month-old Kaori Patterson-Moore in Brooklyn on Wednesday afternoon, amNewYork has learned.

According to sources familiar with the investigation, the perpetrator was cuffed on Friday afternoon after fleeing to Pennsylvania. Sources identified him as 18-year-old Matthew Rodriguez; he is currently being held in the Keystone State, pending extradition back to New York for prosecution on charges yet to be announced.

The arrest came 48 hours after Patterson-Moore was shot while being wheeled in her stroller by her mother near the corner of Humboldt and Moore Streets in East Williamsburg at about 1:20 p.m. on April 1. 

Law enforcement sources said two suspects on a moped rode up to the location and fired the fatal shot before fleeing the scene. Sources said Rodriguez is believed to be the moped’s operator; the alleged shooter, 21-year-old Amuri Greene, was officially charged on Friday with multiple counts of murder.

Patterson-Moore sustained a fatal gunshot wound to her head. Frantic efforts by her parents and bystanders were to no avail; the infant died later on Wednesday afternoon at Woodhull Hospital.

The shooting horrified local residents and the city. Linda Oyinkonyan, the grandmother on Kaori’s mother’s side, said she has been left devastated.

“Heartbroken, horrified. It’s bad, it’s sad, it’s sorrowful, it’s hurtful, it’s nothing you can imagine, nothing, the hurt, the deep hurt,” she said.

Police said Greene and Rodriguez allegedly crashed their ride two blocks away from the shooting scene. Though Rodriguez was able to avoid capture, Greene was hospitalized with injuries after being thrown from the vehicle. He was subsequently charged at his bedside. 

Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch announced on Wednesday evening an extensive manhunt for the second suspect in the killing. That search ultimately led cops to Pennsylvania, and to Rodriguez on Friday.
