A small airplane collided with a pickup truck on a Nevada highway Saturday morning when it had to make an emergency landing.

According to highway patrol, the aircraft was having engine trouble and landed the plane on Nevada Route 445 north of Reno near Spanish Springs around 9:00 a.m. Saturday. There were two people aboard the plane when it hit and spun the truck on the two-lane road, which also had two passengers. The pilot said the plane was flying at about 110 miles-per-hour on the landing approach.

Nevada Highway Patrol Lt. Kevin Honea said all four people involved only suffered minor injuries, including both of the plane's passengers who suffered cuts from glass.

"Anytime you hear about a plane versus car, you're thinking the worst," Honea said. "I'm happy to report that nobody had to be transported to the hospital."

The single-engine Thunder Mustang airplane was forced to land after losing power, according to a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Allen Kenitzer. The plane crash landed on the road shortly after taking off at Reno Stead Airport on a trip to South Dakota. The only scheduled stop was for a refueling in Wyoming.

The plane's pilot, Frederick Roscher, also built the aircraft in 2011 according to FAA records. The Thunder Mustang was registered to 51 Aero Leasing in Cupertino California.

After the crash landing, the plane quickly caught fire and was mostly destroyed. Roscher and his co-pilot were able to climb out of the cockpit just before the 90 gallons of aviation fuel it was carrying lit. Honea said he was unsure of the extent of the truck's damage.

The names of the other three people involved have not been released. The stretch of highway was closed Saturday afternoon while the FAA and National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash.
