A private plane made an emergency landing in an empty field near Nelson Road in Rio Hondo just before noon.

This is the second time in a week this exact plane has had to make an emergency landing.

Cameron County Emergency Management Coordinator Humberto Barrera said the pilot in today's landing was not injured.

Nelson Road is just east of Rio Hondo.

Barrera says last week the same Cessna 207 was forced to make an emergency landing in Willacy County as the plane flew from Corpus Christi to Harlingen. The pilot flying the plane on that day was another man.

On the same day a Valley Air Care medical helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing on South Padre Island.
