(KNZA)--No injuries were reported after a small plane made an emergency landing in Jackson County Saturday evening.
Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse said the Sheriff's Office received a report of an airplane landing near 142nd Road and U.S. 75 Highway at about 8:15 on the northbound portion of the Highway.
Morse said the 1991 Bonanza V-35 was headed to Omaha, Nebraska from Topeka when it lost its engine and was forced to make an emergency landing.
He said the plane was able to land without incident, nearly striking an overhead power line. All four occupants were uninjured.
Traffic was reduced to one northbound lane during the incident except for a short time when both lanes were closed so the plane could be removed from the highway. All northbound lanes were back open by shortly after 9:30.
