SR22 Makes Emergency Landing On SC Highway

Aircraft Caught Fire In Flight

A Cirrus SR22 made an emergency landing Friday morning on a highway in Marion County, SC after the engine caught fire in flight.

The plane landed on US 378 in southern Marion County, according to the online news site SCNow.com.

Marion County EMS Director Joey Price told reporters that a fire broke out in the airplane at about 8:30 a.m. local time. The FAA said through a spokesman that the plane landed after an engine problem.

South Carolina Highway Patrol troopers pushed the airplane to the side of the road, allowing the highway to be reopened.

There were three people on board the airplane when the incident occurred during a flight from Mt. Plesant, SC to Raleigh, NC. They were not identified by authorities.
