He had been in-flight for 6 hours and zero minutes when the engine "sputtered" and he executed an engine out emergency landing to a 4 lane undivided highway just 10 miles away from his destination airport. The power-off landing was otherwise uneventful and with law enforcement officers blocking traffic he amde a normal take-off from the same highway after fueling the aircraft.
