CINCINNATI (AP) - A small plane made an emergency landing Thursday on an interstate highway in Cincinnati, but no injuries were reported, authorities said.
The pilot was the only person aboard the single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza plane that came down around 11:45 a.m. in the northbound lanes of Interstate 75 near the Ronald Reagan Cross County Highway. The plane did not hit any vehicles and eventually came to rest against a concrete barrier, police said.
Officers quickly shut down that stretch of the roadway, causing travel delays in the area that were expected to continue through the evening commute.
It wasn’t immediately clear where the plane had departed from, but officials said the pilot was headed to Lunken Airport in Cincinnati when he reported a loss of engine power. It’s not yet known what caused the issue.
The Federal Aviation Administration will investigate the incident.
