Small plane lands on Sawgrass Expressway in Broward

A small plane made an emergency landing on The Sawgrass Expressway on Friday night in Broward County’s Parkland and Coral Springs border, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

The plane landed on the eastbound lanes about 10:30 p.m., just east of University Drive. FHP Lt. Yanko Reyes said no one was injured.

According to Flightaware, the Piper PA-28 Cherokee had departed from the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport at about 9:30 p.m.

The pilot was the only person on the aircraft and was not injured.

The plane belongs to First Choice Air Inc., a Tampa-based company newly registered under Jairo Bustamante.

Crews spent much of the overnight hours gutting the plane and putting it on a trailer for removal from the median.
