A small airplane was forced to make an emergency landing on a Florida interstate. The landing occurred in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 10 in Escambia County. The pilot and a flight student were on board and reported that mechanical issues led to the emergency landing.

A burning smell in the cockpit prompted the pilot to land the plane, as it was unable to reach an airport. No injuries were reported, and crews were able to remove the plane by Monday afternoon, reopening all lanes to traffic. Further details about the incident are available from the source.
