The plane carrying nine US marines that crash-landed on Mityana Road in Kiwawu, Uganda, on July 18, 2014.
A South Sudan-bound plane carrying US military personnel has been forced to land in the middle of road after taking off from Entebbe airport.
The plane, eyewitnesses say, touched down along Kampala Mityana road near Kiwawu trading center attracting dozens speculators and heavily paralysing traffic flow.
A Ugandan police spokesman says a small aircraft carrying U.S. military personnel has made an emergency landing on a road after running out of fuel.
Phillip Mukasa said Friday that the Piper aircraft with eight people on board including two crew members was returning to Uganda's Entebbe airport when it had to make an emergency landing in Mityana town, some 67 kilometers (about 41 miles) from the Ugandan capital of Kampala.
No one was hurt and the aircraft wasn't damaged, he said, although motor traffic flow was seriously disrupted.
He said the aircraft had been headed to South Sudan but it couldn't land there and had to return to Uganda.
It was not immediately clear why the pilot could not land in South Sudan.
