Narrative:
Shortly after takeoff and the plane reached 4,000 feet, the pilot saw the low-voltage light illuminate and also learned he was rapidly losing oil, forcing him to make an emergency landing on I-75 near Gibsonton, Florida.
During the descent, a portion of his aircraft, a Piper PA-32R-301T Turbo Saratoga, struck a power line.

As the plane landed, the left wing struck a roadway sign that ripped the wing off the fuselage.

The aircraft came to final rest, with the left wing, in the center median of I-75.

No one was injured.
