.The plane, which had flown from Danbury, Conn., on a tour of the Statue of Liberty, landed in the northbound lane around 3:20 p.m. near East 233rd Street, officials said. The pilot and his two women passengers were taken to St. Barnabas Hospital with minor injuries.
.The pilot was able to land on the usually heavily trafficked expressway because a crew of city workers repairing potholes had largely blocked off much of the traffic, creating a stretch of cleared lanes north of it, on the northbound stretch of the expressway, said workers at the scene.
.The workers said the plane appeared to have engine trouble and brushed treetops before landing.
.No cars were damaged during the landing, officials said, but there were major delays into the evening as officials investigated. Officials said they had to remove the fuel before they could move the plane from the scene.
