Small Plane Lands On Pennsylvania Turnpike Near Harrisburg

LANCASTER, Pa. (CBS/AP) - A small plane landed on the Pennsylvania Turnpike Monday evening, shutting down some traffic and prompting a crash, authorities said. It happened in the westbound lanes between the Lebanon-Lancaster and Harrisburg East exits.

Officials say the plane had engine trouble and clipped two tractor-trailers as it landed.

No injuries were reported.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike tweeted shortly after 6:30 p.m. that some traffic was blocked in the area.

The road was cleared a couple of hours later.
