Overview
- A single‑engine Cessna came down onto the Capitol Expressway/Excalibur Drive overpass in San Jose on Saturday and nosed onto the roadway with all three people aboard surviving.
- Dashcam video circulated by Storyful shows the plane flying very low, the left wing striking a streetlight and the aircraft pitching nose‑first afterward.
- Two adults and one child were taken to hospital with non‑life‑threatening injuries, no vehicles on the road were hit, and a small fuel spill was absorbed at the scene.
- Officials identified the aircraft as a Cessna 177A Cardinal registered to Flying Twenty Inc., a nonprofit flight club based at Reid‑Hillview Airport.
- The San Jose Fire Department, the FAA and the NTSB are investigating and will review pilot communications, flight records and wreckage to establish sequence and probable cause which could prompt closer scrutiny of local flight operations.
