Plane down on Interstate 75 in Bibb County

The Associated Press
Published on: 09/29/06 Bibb County Sheriff's spokesman David Davis said a small plane lost power over Interstate 75 in Macon but the pilot managed to bring it down hitting only the guard-rail so that nobody was hurt.

The single-engine Beechcraft plane ended up in the median around 12:30 Friday afternoon.

A man and his wife were the only people on board, Davis said. The couple from Brooksville, Fla., were traveling from there to Lawrenceville, Ga.

Chad Stuart, who lives less than a mile from the site of the crash, said he heard a plane fly over his house at what sounded like low altitude.

"I heard a buzzing, and I thought I heard something hit," Stuart said. "Then I heard a siren, and I said, 'That plane crashed.' "
