Two men who were on a trip across the state to get some tacos are safe after the small plane they were on made a crash landing in the Florida Everglades in Collier County Tuesday morning.
Federal Aviation Administration officials said the single-engine Piper PA-32 made a forced landing on a highway in the Everglades about 20 miles north of Ochopee just before 10 a.m.
Footage showed a Miami-Dade Fire Rescue helicopter helping the two men from the scene by hoisting them into the chopper.
Fire rescue officials said neither was hurt or required hospitalization.
