Pilot Safely Lands Airplane On I-95 In Florida

No Injuries Reported From The Incident

A 20-year-old pilot safely landed a Piper PA-28 Cherokee on Interstate 95 in Vero Beach early Monday morning, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Television station WKMG in Orlando reports that the pilot, Firas Awad H. Alghamd of Saudi Arabia, landed the aircraft in the southbound lane of I-95 at about 0130 at mile marker 144 in Vero Beach.

Officials said that Alghamdi had taken off from Fort Pierce, FL, and apparently ran out of fuel during the flight. He was the only person on board the aircraft at the time of the incident.

Alghamdi was uninjured in the off-airport landing, and there was no collision with any other vehicle.

The aircraft, which is owned by Ari Ben Aviator of Fort Pierce, was loaded onto a truck and taken to a rest area about 11 miles from where it touched down.
