A single-engine plane landed on a highway near Carmine after discovering a problem last week.
The small plane experienced a fuel leak, causing the unexpected landing.
Fayette County Sheriff's Office stated that they received a report of a plane landing on U.S. Highway 290 just east of Carmine around 3:30 p.m. on Friday, October 30th.
A sergeant with the sheriff's office and the Carmine Fire Department arrived on the scene to find a single engine, two-seater plane had landed on the highway.
KVUE reported that the pilot of the plane discovered the fuel leak during the flight and decided to land the plane in the eastbound lanes of the highway during a break in traffic.
After landing, the pilot was reportedly able to taxi the plant off of the highway to a nearby parking lot for safety.
There were no injuries reported in the incident.
According to reports, there was very little damage that occurred as a result of the emergency landing. The sheriff's office stated, "The only damage to have occurred was that of the left wing striking a mailbox and causing minor damage."
