A small plane made an emergency landing on a busy highway in Gainesville, Georgia, USA.

The pilot of the Beechcraft Hawker G-36 aircraft reported engine failure shortly after takeoff and decided to land on the Browns Bridge Highway after being unable to return to the airport.

The plane hit several cars during landing.

At least four people were injured in the incident, including two people on board the plane and two drivers of cars who were hit, according to Gainesville police. Doctors said the injuries were not life-threatening.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has already begun investigating the causes of the technical defect.
