An aircraft carrying U.S. military personnel today has made an emergency landing in the middle of a highway after running out of
fuel, Ugandan police said.
The Piper aircraft with eight people on board, including two crew members was returning to Uganda's Entebbe International Airport when it had to make an emergency landing in Mityana town, some 67 kilometers (about 41 miles) from the Ugandan capital of Kampala. No one was hurt and the aircraft wasn't damaged, but motor traffic flow was seriously disrupted.
The said aircraft was initially heading to South Sudan but it couldn't land there and had to return to Uganda. It was not immediately clear why the pilot could not land in South Sudan.
