The pilot of a small airplane had to do some quick thinking Friday evening and wound up landing on a grid road east of Regina.
After landing on the road, the airplane came to rest in a field.
Shortly after 5 p.m., the Indian Head RCMP was called to the grid road 10 kilometres northeast of McLean, where the single-engine Piper Cherokee landed.
Police had been alerted to the unusual happening by a farmer who came upon the plane and picked up the pilot and a passenger. There were no vehicles on the road when the plane landed.
No one was hurt in the landing and there was only minor damage sustained by the plane.
It has not been released where the plane was flying from and where it was headed.
Transport Canada and the RCMP are still investigating. Investigators have not yet said what made the emergency landing necessary.
