A small Piper Saratoga plane made an emergency landing at an interstate highway north of downtown Atlanta during the rush hour causing a traffic jam during the evening. No cars were hit and no damage was caused and even plane pilot Matt Conway came out of the plane without a scratch.

Matt Conway told the media that his plane engine got jammed and he couldn't get to the airport so that's why he had to make the emergency landing. However, the FAA says that its still determining the cause of the landing.
