A small plane crashed Sunday afternoon onto an expressway in suburban Chicago while trying to make an emergency landing, authorities said, according to AP. No serious injuries were reported, and the plane did not hit any vehicles on the highway, said Illinois State Police Master Sgt. Ted Vernon. The plane carrying a flight instructor and a student crashed around 12:40 p.m. on the Elgin-O'Hare Expressway, less than a mile (1.6 kilometers) from the Schaumburg Airport, Vernon said. The instructor was hospitalized with a head wound, and the student appeared to walk away from the plane uninjured, Vernon said. The plane had just taken off from the airport when the engine failed. The instructor first tried to turn the plane around before attempting to glide it down onto the highway, Vernon said.
