No injuries were reported after a plane’s force landing in a busy Hazle Twp. industrial park this afternoon.
The plane lost oil pressure in the area of 8 Bee’s Campground in Humboldt East and circled above before the pilot landed it in an undeveloped parcel of cleared land called lot 106, Hazle Twp. Fire Chief Scott Kostician said.
Kostician and state police at Hazleton were dispatched to the area in Humboldt East to assess the situation involving the single-engine plane around 1:30 p.m.
No injuries were reported and Kostician notified the Federal Aviation Administration as is protocol.
The pilot was able to get the plane started again and flew off around 2 p.m., according to a witness who is also a security guard in the area.
That man, who declined to provide his name, feared something was wrong when he saw the pilot circling above. He nervously watched as the pilot flew past high-tension electrical lines before landing safely on the lot.
