It's not something you see every day at the lights: a small aircraft barreling through the intersection after making an emergency landing on Red Hill Avenue in Irvine, California.

"Unusual airplane landing," reports YouTuber CalicoStrike. "Nobody hurt."

The Orange County Register reports that the plane belongs to a school and likely suffered engine trouble.

The Piper Cherokee aircraft landed at 6:18 p.m. near John Wayne Airport at Red Hill and McGaw avenues during rush-hour traffic, coming to a stop at MacArthur Boulevard, Irvine Police spokeswoman Farrah Emami said.

There are no injuries or damage to the plane or other vehicles, and an investigation is underway.
