The police have started an administrative violation process for the crash landing of the plane on the Tallinn highway

The State Police (SP) has started the process of an administrative violation regarding the case when a plane made an emergency landing on the Tallinn highway near Ādaži on May 4, the LETA agency learned from the State Police. All circumstances will be evaluated in the administrative violation process.

LETA already wrote that a small plane made an emergency landing on the Tallinn highway near Ādaži on Saturday evening. A general aviation aircraft made an emergency landing near Adaži, landing on a highway. There were two people on the plane, but none of them were hurt.

The video taken by an eyewitness shows that the plane lands on the Tallinn highway, flying from the Riga side. As it lands, the plane merges into the flow of cars, but catches a traffic sign in the middle of the road with its left wing, which changes the plane’s trajectory, causing it to enter the opposite lane, successfully avoiding a collision with cars.

The plane was piloted by an instructor who had gone on a private flight with the passenger. The investigation and expertise of the incident is carried out by the Transport Accident and Incident Investigation Office.
