Mooney M20E: Plane makes emergency landing on Arizona highway.

A stuck throttle forced a single-engine plane to make an emergency landing on a highway outside of Payson, according to federal and state officials.

The Mooney M20E landed on the southbound lanes of Arizona 87 near milepost 241 about 10 a.m., according to the state Department of Public Safety and the Federal Aviation Administration.

The plane was not damaged and no injuries were reported.

Authorities said the plane was pushed out of the traffic lanes and there are no road closures.
