MADISON, Mississippi (WLBT) - An emergency plane landing occurred near an intersection in Madison Thursday night, causing a temporary lane closure.

Witnesses reported to Madison police that the plane landed close to the intersection of Rice Road and Madison Avenue at approximately 7:34 p.m.

The Madison Fire Department also responded to the scene.

“The plane is a Cessna 150F. The pilot reported engine trouble and made a successful landing on Madison Avenue,” stated Newman. “There was no damage to property and no injuries.
