A stalled engine forced the pilot of a small aircraft to make an emergency landing on a major US road south of Chicago, according to authorities.

The pilot and three passengers were aboard the single-engine Beechcraft B24R when it landed on the southbound lanes of Interstate 355, near Interstate 80, close to New Lenox, Illinois state police said.
