A small plane carrying three people, one a child, nosedived into San Jose traffic on Saturday afternoon, according to local news reports. <\/p>\n
The crash happened shortly after 3 p.m. near the intersection of Capitol Expressway and Excalibur Drive, according to the San Jose Fire Department<\/a>.<\/p>\n Two adults and a child were in the plane when it went down, NBC<\/a> reported. Each of the passengers was transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries \u201cout of an abundance of caution,\u201d police said. The plane managed to avoid striking any vehicles on the ground and no additional injuries were reported. <\/p>\n Federal Aviation Administration records show the aircraft is a 1968 Cessna 177A Cardinal registered to Flying Twenty Inc., a nonprofit flight club for San Jose State University students, alumni and faculty, ABC<\/a> reported.
