A ‘drunk’ pilot has been arrested after flying his light aircraft from Florida to Missouri before landing on the interstate.
John T. Seesing, 35, of Prairie Village, Kansas, landed a small aircraft on I-70 near Grain Valley around 2.45am on Friday.
Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP) said it believes Seesing was headed toward the Wheeler Downtown Airport in Kansas City when he ran out of fuel and had to make an emergency landing on the highway.
Seesing was the only passenger on board the aircraft and he sustained minor injuries.
The Kansan radioed in before landing and had a small collision with a guardrail, but no cars were hit.
