HADDONFIELD, N.J. — A traffic reporter in a small plane put himself in the thick of a rush-hour tie-up when his aircraft had to make an emergency landing Monday on the New Jersey Turnpike.<\/p>\nHADDONFIELD, N.J. — A traffic reporter in a small plane put himself in the thick of a rush-hour tie-up when his aircraft had to make an emergency landing Monday on the New Jersey Turnpike.<\/p>\n
It was a little before 7 a.m., before the morning rush in the Philadelphia suburbs gets going, when a low oil pressure indicator came on in the Cessna owned by Wilmington, Del.-based Out of the Blue, Inc. <\/span><\/p>\n The pilot, flying with traffic reporter Mike Lankford for Metro Networks, which was providing traffic reports for a number of TV and radio stations, put the plane down on the northbound lanes of the turnpike in Cherry Hill about two miles south of Exit 4.<\/p>\n “This was pretty much a non-incident in terms of what the outcome was like,” said New Jersey Turnpike Authority spokesman Joseph Orlando.<\/p>\n “The plane landed, he taxied it over into the shoulder. We can’t even get motorists to do that when they break down.”<\/p>\n Authorities have not identified the pilot or passenger, but have said that neither was injured.<\/p>\n There was a traffic backup of about a mile and a half in each direction. Orlando said that was due mostly to rubbernecking.<\/p>\n “For the first time in 8 years, I can probably say you had a good reason to stop and look,” Orlando said.<\/p>\n The Federal Aviation Administration was starting an investigation.<\/p>\n The plane, a Cessna 152 built in 1981, was loaded onto a truck and taken to a New Jersey Turnpike Authority maintenance yard near Exit 5.<\/p>\n No word on what the toll was.<\/p>\n Read the original article on DailyHerald.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n HADDONFIELD, N.J. — A traffic reporter in a small plane put himself in the thick of a rush-hour tie-up when his aircraft had to make an emergency landing Monday on the New Jersey Turnpike.
