PHOENIX — No injuries were reported after a plane made an emergency landing on an Arizona highway, officials said Wednesday.

The small plane made the landing at about 11:15 a.m. on U.S. 60 between Cibecue and Show Low.

The sole pilot then pushed the aircraft off the road, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

Eastbound U.S. 60 was closed for a short time due to the emergency landing.
