Plane-car crash kills one on US highway

A plane has crash-landed on the Interstate 15 freeway in southern California, hitting a car and killing one of its passengers.

Three others in the car were hurt along with the plane's pilot and passenger.

The plane appeared to be having technical problems before it crash-landed on the freeway in San Diego County near Fallbrook, witnesses said.

In 2000, a former owner guided the same Lancair IV down on to the same freeway after its engine failed.

But this time it landed on its belly before skidding into a nearby car, fatally crushing Antoinette Isbelle, 38, of San Diego, in the back seat.
