BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (AP) – Authorities say a small plane with just a pilot aboard has made an emergency landing on a suburban Chicago tollway.
No injuries were reported in the landing near Bolingbrook, Illinois, Tuesday afternoon.
Illinois State Police say the Beechcraft Bonanza touched down on the right shoulder of southbound Interstate 355 without striking any vehicles or fixed objects on the ground.
But it did cause traffic to back up just before the afternoon rush hour. An aircraft tracking website says the plane was headed at the time from Middleton, Wisconsin, to Downers Grove, Illinois.
The Bolingbrook Fire Department said on its Facebook page the plane experienced engine failure.
