A pilot was forced to make an emergency landing Thursday afternoon, just miles from a local airport.
Emergency Services Director Reed Sutherland says that a pilot from Maryland heading to Wilmington, made an emergency landing on River Road in Wallace.
Sutherland says the pilot was two miles shy of the Wallace airport, when he instead decided to make an emergency landing. The road is a low traffic area of Wallace, according to Sutherland.
Sutherland says the pilot believes there may have been an oil issue with the plane.
Wallace Fire Department, Wallace Police, Highway Patrol and Emergency Management all responded to the scene.
Sutherland says the pilot was the only person on board the Piper aircraft. No injuries were reported.
