The pilot of a light plane belonging to an aviation school was forced to make an emergency landing on the Macrolibramiento (outer Guadalajara ring road) after experiencing engine failure.
Neither the pilot or co-pilot were injured in the landing, which occurred on the westbound lanes of the road near the town of San Juan Evangelista in the municipality of Tlajomulco.
Civil Protection officials were quickly on the scene and easily pushed the lightweight Piper PA28 to the roadside embankment before reopening the highway to traffic.
