WEST BROWARD (CBSMiami) – Crews worked late into the night on Saturday to disassemble a plane that made an emergency landing on I-75 in far west Broward County.
The bulk of the plane could be seen being loaded onto a flatbed to be taken away.
The single engine Cessna landed in the eastbound lanes of Alligator Alley at mile marker 30 around 5:30 p.m. on Saturday.
The two people who were on board were not injured.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, a mechanical problem caused the plane to lose power.
FHP and the Federal Aviation Administration are investigating what caused that power failure.
