A small passenger plane made an emergency landing on I-75 in Gordon County on Sunday afternoon, according to the Georgia State Patrol.
Officials with GSP were notified shortly after noon that an aircraft had made an emergency landing on I-75 northbound near Union Grove Road, the agency told Channel 2 Action News in a statement.
The Cessna 337 twin engine plane landed in the northbound lanes of I-75 and the pilot steered it onto the ramp for exit 310, officials said. The pilot said he had experienced some type of fuel-related issue, GSP said.
The pilot and his passenger were not injured.
The northbound lanes of I-75 were closed while GSP officials responded and worked to move the plane.
A representative with the Federal Aviation Association gave permission for the aircraft to be moved, and it was towed about two miles to Tom B. David Airport in Calhoun, officials said.
