Reno police say no one was hurt when the pilot of a small plane landed on McCarran Boulevard in west Reno near Caughlin Ranch.

Initial reports are that the plane lost its engine, forcing the landing shortly before 1:30PM May 24, 2016. Southbound McCarran was closed between Plumb and Caughlin Parkway/Cashill for about four hours, but was reopened when the plane was dismantled enough to moved by flatbed truck to Stead.

The pilot of the single-engine Cessna 182A was headed to Truckee from Utah with one passenger. The plane is registered to Extreme Sports of Truckee.

Emergency crews say the pilot first looked at landing on Interstate 80, but there was too much traffic there, so McCarran was chosen instead. The landing gear bumped up against the concrete barrier upon landing, causing enough damage to prevent the plane from being towed.

The FAA is investigating.
