SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, California (KION-TV) -- Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office confirms a plane has landed at Manresa State Beach.

According to the dispatch center, no one was injured as the plane landed.

State Parks tells KION that the pilot reported engine failure and were attempting to land at Watsonville airport but weren't going to make it. This led to the pilot deciding to land at Manresa State Beach instead.
