With the plane’s windshield covered in oil, a pilot landed the small aircraft on a city street in Watertown, Wis., and hit a moving car. The two people in the plane and the driver of the vehicle weren’t seriously hurt.
Watertown Municipal Airport manager Jeff Baum says the plane was ready to land Monday when its engine blew, sprayed oil and the pilot lost visibility. Baum says the pilot put the plane down on a street that runs perpendicular to the airport runway.
A police report says the plane struck a Chevy Impala driven by a 63-year-old woman. The car sustained major damage. The State Journal says the plane is owned by Wisconsin Aviation.
