3 injured after small plane crashes down on busy Arizona road: ‘100% a miracle’
Three people were injured when a small plane crash-landed onto a busy Arizona road on Sunday afternoon, according to authorities.
The pilot of a privately-owned Republic RC-3 plane made an “emergency gear-up landing” near 7th Street and Missouri Avenue in Phoenix around 3:25 p.m. local time, according to the Federal Aviation Administration and the Phoenix Police Department.
Three people on board the single-engine plane miraculously suffered only minor injuries, Arizona Family reported.
Photos posted to social media showed at least one individual crawling out of the dented white-and-blue aircraft as it leaned into the road verge.
The pilot with over 40 years of flying experience had attempted to avoid power lines and find a clear place to land, Phoenix Fire Captain DJ Lee told the outlet.
The plane hit a water main during the freak landing, but no vehicles or buildings were struck on the busy intersection.
“It is 100% a miracle,” Lee said.
Roads surrounding the scene were closed into Sunday evening as emergency crews removed the plane and worked to repair water main issues, authorities said.
It is not immediately clear what led the crew to make the emergency landing. The FAA will investigate the incident.
The crash comes mere days after a couple, Chris and Jacque Sheafe, were killed when a single-engine Piper PA-32 ran off the runway and erupted in flames at Arizona’s Marana Regional Airport on Wednesday, KOLD reported.
On the same day, a Cessna T-41B plane “veered off the runway” at the Sun Valley-Bison- Fort Mohave Airport in Arizona, and plowed right into a home’s garage.
The two people steering the small aircraft were hospitalized with injuries.

Triple-digit temps return to Arizona for Mother’s Day weekend
PHOENIX (AZFamily) — Warmer weather is in store for Mother’s Day weekend in the Valley, with temperatures jumping 10 to 15 degrees above average.
We have issued First Alert Weather Days for Saturday and Sunday with high temps expected near 104-105. A heads-up in case you’re planning any Mother’s Day activities, because you may want to take part in outdoor events in the morning or move those activities indoors.
And high temperatures could get even warmer by next week. Right now, models are hinting at temps near 107 Monday and 106 Tuesday. These above-average temperatures are due to a ridge of high pressure building from the west.
For the weekend, a widespread Moderate Heat Risk is expected. What that means is that the weather will affect those who are sensitive to heat, especially those without cooling/hydration, and some health systems and industries.
Right now, there are no Extreme Heat Watches or Warnings in effect from the National Weather Service, but we will keep you posted.
By the end of next week, an incoming weather system could lead to slightly cooler temperatures, but temps should still stay above average.
We’re not tracking any chances for rain in the Valley for the next five to seven days.
