Plane Makes Emergency Landing On US 31

KOKOMO, Ind. (AP) — Authorities say a small plane has taken off again after making an emergency landing on U.S. 31 just south of Kokomo.

A mechanic from the Kokomo Municipal Airport went to the scene to make repairs. The plane then took off from U.S. 31 sometime after 1 p.m.

Howard County Emergency Management Director Janice Hart says no injuries were reported.

The incident was reported to the Federal Aviation Administration.
