Tegucigalpa, Honduras - A small plane made an emergency landing on a street in the Honduran capital and collided with a truck on Saturday. Police said four people were injured, none seriously.

The plane suffered mechanical problems shortly after takeoff and tried to return to the Tegucigalpa airport, according to police spokesperson Sergio Murillo. Instead it touched down on a nearby street and one of its wings hit a passing pickup.

"It was all quite unexpected," Murillo said.

The aircraft flipped over and came to rest belly-up. The pilot and three Honduran passengers were hospitalized only briefly, and the truck's driver was not injured.
