Small Prop Plane Crashes on San Jose Highway

Aviation investigators have not yet released findings about why the plane struck the roadway.

Overview

  • A small propeller plane came down on a San Jose roadway at Capitol Expressway and Excalibur Drive and the crash left the aircraft’s nose crushed against the pavement.
  • Three people were aboard — two adults and a child — and all were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries as a precaution.
  • San José Fire Department crews secured the scene, released photos documenting the damage, and absorbed a minor fuel spill to limit hazards.
  • No other vehicles were involved in the incident and responders completed on-scene work before investigators took over control of the wreckage.
  • Federal aviation agencies commonly open inquiries after small-aircraft accidents, and officials have not yet provided public updates on any formal investigation.
