Two people died in Brazil Tuesday when a small plane crash-landed on a major expressway between Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, according to media reports. The pilot of the twin-engine Seneca plane apparently tried to make an emergency landing. The plane's two occupants died and two vehicles were struck by parts of the wreckage, though no one was injured, the reports said, according to dpa. The accident took place near Guaratingueta, some 175 kilometres east of Sao Paulo on the Dutra expressway. The Dutra, considered the most important expressway in Brazil, remained closed for hours in both directions following the accident, causing massive traffic delays.. The plane had taken off in Sao Paulo. It was unknown what caused the pilot to make an emergency landing.
