LYON COUNTY, Kansas (KMBC) — A small plane made an emergency landing Monday morning in eastern Kansas after experiencing mechanical trouble in midair.
According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, the single-engine, fixed-wing aircraft was forced down just before 10 a.m. in a corn field in Lyon County, southwest of the intersection of K-99 and Road 400.
Troopers say the plane’s propeller stopped working, leaving the pilot with no choice but to attempt an emergency landing.
The aircraft came down in the field without striking any structures or vehicles.
No injuries were reported.
The plane sustained damage and was later removed from the scene by a private tow company.
