SANGER, Texas (AP) — A student pilot and an instructor have escaped injury after their plane had engine trouble, clipped a power line then landed on a North Texas highway. 

The Texas Department of Public Safety says the emergency landing happened Wednesday morning on FM 455 just west of Sanger.

Sgt. Lonny Haschel (HASH'-el) says the single-engine Cessna 152 was damaged in the accident. Haschel says the plane was pushed into a driveway to avoid traffic on the two-lane road near Sanger, just north of Denton.

A Federal Aviation Administration spokesman says the plane had some type of engine problem. Further details weren't immediately available.
