An emergency landing by a single-engine plane snarled traffic Thursday night on Interstate 5 in San Diego, multiple news outlets reported.
Ian Gregor, public affairs manager for the Federal Aviation Administration, told KNSD the Cessna 182 made a hard landing on the southbound lanes around 7:15 p.m.
Within 30 minutes authorities had re-opened two southbound lanes, KFMB reported.
Carlsbad Fire Division Chief Mike Lopez told KNSD a man and a woman were on board traveling from the San Gabriel Airport in Los Angeles to McClellan-Palomar Airport in Carlsbad.
According to KFMB, no injuries were reported, and the plane did not strike any motorists.
"They did a pretty good job landing this thing," Lopez told KNSD, adding, "The skill of that pilot, he did a stellar job."
