\"GennaSAN JOSE, Calif. \u2014<\/p>\n

A Cessna plane crash-landed on Capitol Expressway, one of San Jose’s busiest streets, on Saturday after the pilot reported engine failure, according to air traffic control recordings. <\/p>\n

The aircraft, owned and operated by Flying 20, an independent flying club, ended up nose down and tail up on the roadway. The three people inside were not seriously hurt. <\/p>\n

Neighbors living just yards from the crash site described the crash as a close call. <\/p>\n

“We live with the constant fear of another airplane flying into our community and crashing,” resident Maria Reyes said. <\/p>\n

The Federal Aviation Administration said it is now investigating the crash.<\/p>\n
