Two men escaped without serious injury after their motor glider crashed into a road in Gloucestershire, in South West England.
The plane appeared to have skidded through a hedge during rush hour late Tuesday afternoon, and ended up on the A 419, blocking both lanes.
The pilots may have overshot the runway at Aston Down airfield, which is home to the Cotswold Gliding Club where the two occupants were members.
The Club released a statement saying they were both qualified pilots.
“They suffered some injuries and were taken by ambulance to hospital to be checked over.”
One witness said that it “looked like it stalled and nose dived into the main road”.
