A small plane crashed Tuesday onto a street in southern Montreal , Canada's second largest city, hitting two cars and injuring at least six people.

The Cessna went down at Losch and Kimber Boulevards near the Saint-Hubert airport, injuring the plane's pilot and passengers and the car drivers, the reports said. Officials said none of those injured were in a critical condition.

The pilot said he had been forced to make an emergency landing after the plane's engine failed.

On Sunday, a similar incident occurred in downtown Montreal. A Cessna landed on a busy street, but no injuries or damage were reported.
