According to the Utah Highway Patrol, the incident occurred at approximately 8 a.m. A student pilot on a training flight was taking off with his instructor when the aircraft suddenly lost power and experienced a mechanical problem. The instructor intervened, took control, and successfully landed on the interstate highway.
After takeoff, the aircraft was unable to reach sufficient altitude and began to decline.
The plane came to a stop after hitting the highway instead of the runway.
Although there was a collision with a small vehicle, no one was injured.
The main road was temporarily closed to traffic after the incident.
The aircraft was returned to Ogden-Hinckley Airport.
Audio recordings reveal that communication between the pilot and airport tower control was reflected in the media and that the emergency after take-off was reported second by second.
