Small plane makes emergency highway landing in Croatia

Zagreb: A small plane has made an emergency landing on a main highway in Croatia, surprising drivers but causing no injuries.

Croatian emergency services say the incident happened Saturday on the highway connecting the capital Zagreb with the northern Adriatic port of Rijeka.

It is one of the main roads in the country and is usually crowded during the tourist season and on weekends.

Local firefighters from the nearby region of Vrbovsko cited a “technical malfunction” on the plane as the reason for the landing. They added the incident caused no casualties, only damage.
