TLDR: a two man plane needed to make an emergency landing on US-95 and were clipped by a Nissan. The two pilots and the driver all went to the hospital. No major injuries.

I was trying to figure out where the hell that was on I95, and now it makes a lot more sense it's not the Interstate 95 on the east coast its the intrastate road US95 in Nevada

Edit: I have been corrected, evidently US95 just predates our interstate system so there are two inter state highways that are numbered 95 on opposite sides of the country

US 95 does pass through several states so it's not an "intrastate" road. It's part of the US numbered highway system which predates the Interstate Highway system.

Interstate is a proper noun, referring to the Interstate Highway System: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_Highway_System
Those highway numbers start with I, such as I-95. US-95 is a different numbering scheme, for a different set of highways, mostly constructed earlier.

You should stop trying to use interstate and intrastate as adjectives, you're only confusing yourself further!

Inter is a prefix that generally means among or between I put a space between the words to emphasize that both highways do run among/between multiple states even if Interstate is a proper noun

I-95 is 2000 miles long, I have no fucking idea where Kyle canyon road is, how about you tell me where this happened in the title?

  1. The title states US highway 95. Not Interstate freeway 95.

  2. If you read the rules of the subreddit, your post must use the same exact title as the article you’re posting.

  3. If you simply click the link, the literal first two words of the article are “LAS VEGAS”

The Nissan driver was probably confused or not paying attention. Luckily no serious injuries.

Do you normally need to pay attention to the airspace above your car when you're driving? I'd be pretty confused if somebody landed on top of my car out in the middle of nowhere not even near an airport.

Left mirror…right mirror…speedometer…rear view mirror…speedometer…sky mirror. That’s how I learned it in drivers Ed.

Actually on that particular stretch of 95, I do. Right by Indian Wells - I’ve gotten many a free air show right there.
