SAN JOSE — A small plane made an emergency landing in a park Saturday, authorities said.
The plane came to a rest on its belly in Hillview Park, near the Reid-Hillview Airport. San Jose Fire personnel confirmed they were called to the scene.

The pilot was the only person onboard the aircraft, Gregor said. He was not seriously injured, fire officials said.
The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board will investigate.
