A small airplane made an emergency landing on the southbound lanes of Interstate 75 at mile marker 107, or Pine Ridge Road, late Friday morning according to the Collier County Sheriff's Office.

The airplane was put on a flatbed truck and taken to Naples airport. A mechanic looked it over and determined the airplane had received bad fuel from a marina. Good fuel was put in the airplane and flow out. It was next to my hangar in Naples.
