Default Plane & Car Collide

Again the news papers only report miss information.
I believe they refer to "State Rt" 95.. and Hwy 1 is on the east coast and
parallels Interstate Rte 95
so is Hwy 101 on the west coast (Pacific Coast Hiway) and parrelles
Interstate 5

NEEDLES, Calif. (AP) ? Authorities say the pilot of an experimental
aircraft was taking off Tuesday from a freeway west of Needles where
he'd made an emergency landing when a car slammed into the plane,
ejecting and killing him.

The San Bernardino County sheriff's office reports three occupants in
the car sustained minor injuries from a broken windshield.

The Titan Tornado landed on the Interstate 40 connector road to
Interstate 95 north, about 10 miles west of Needles in eastern San
Bernardino County.

Witnesses told the Federal Aviation Administration the plane was
taking off and was about three feet off the ground when the car
slammed into it.

I though I 95 was on the east coast.
