There are many different types of cars seen on the roads of DFW, but over the weekend some got to witness a different type of vehicle on a North Texas street. A plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Dallas on Saturday after experiencing issues midflight. Luckily the plane was able to land safely on Kiest Blvd, just a few miles from its final destination.
Many drivers in Dallas were forced to sit in traffic Saturday afternoon, but for good reason, as a plane had to land on a road normally used by cars. The plane landed on Kiest Blvd. between Loop 12 and Spur 408 in Dallas after experiencing engine problems. Not many details have been shared at this time, but there were two people on board and neither were injured.
According to Fox 4 News, the plane was headed for Dallas Executive Airport. Investigators claim the pilot experienced engine problems, struck a power line and a speed limit sign, before landing on the roadway. Hopefully that’s the last time Kiest Blvd. has to be used as a runway.
