A plane has had to make an emergency landing on a road in Brazil.

The twin-engine aircraft performed the landing in the town of Santa Isabel in São Paulo state.

Video footage captured by a traffic control camera showed how the plane skidded as it hit the tarmac.

There were three people on board but no-one was injured, according to the local fire service.

The owner of the Embraer Navajo plane, Joao Olyntho, claimed all necessary maintenance had been carried out.

The National Civil Aviation Agency has confirmed the plane's airworthiness was valid until January 2018.

A team of investigators were sent to the site following the incident to look into why the aircraft was forced to make the landing.
