NEEDLES, Calif. (AP) ? Authorities say the pilot of an experimental
aircraft was taking off Tuesday from a freeway west of Needles where
he'd made an emergency landing when a car slammed into the plane,
ejecting and killing him.

The San Bernardino County sheriff's office reports three occupants in
the car sustained minor injuries from a broken windshield.

The Titan Tornado landed on the Interstate 40 connector road to
Interstate 95 north, about 10 miles west of Needles in eastern San
Bernardino County.

Witnesses told the Federal Aviation Administration the plane was
taking off and was about three feet off the ground when the car
slammed into it.

I though I 95 was on the east coast.

Interstate 95
Interstate 95 (I-95) is the main highway on the East Coast of the United
States,[1] paralleling the Atlantic Ocean from Maine to Florida and
serving some of the most populated urban areas in the country, including
Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and
Miami. It is one of the north-south routes of the Interstate Highway
System, and replaced older U.S. Highways, mainly U.S. Route 1.
