Florida Highway Patrol spokesman Sgt. Dylan Bryan said the plane landed and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission responded to the scene.
The pilot landed the plane because of a mechanical issue, but he told an officer on scene he did not need help, Bryan said.
However, according to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation spokeswoman Joy Hill, officials were told the pilot landed because someone on the plane needed to use the restroom, and there were no mechanical issues.
Around 4 p.m., the plane was still in the river.
