MIDWAY, N.C. — No injuries were reported after a small airplane underwent an emergency landing Saturday morning in Davidson County.

Davidson County officials said a fixed wing single-engine aircraft landed shortly after 11 a.m. near Clodfelter Road at Long Perryman Drive with three passengers aboard.

Members of the Civil Air Patrol were flying the single-engine Cessna from Winston-Salem to the Davidson County airport when officials said the plane lost power.

Authorities said the pilot looked for the best place to put the plane down and ended up landing it in an open field. The plane ended up with its nose sticking out into Clodfelter Road.

Donna King said she was on her way home from shopping when she saw the small plane sticking out in the road in front of her house.

“It’s pretty strange you don’t see things like that around here very often,” she said.
