Officials say a single-engine aircraft made an emergency landing on the New Jersey Turnpike during the morning rush, but no one is injured.
Turnpike Authority spokesman Joe Orlando says the plane with two people aboard landed in the northbound lanes in Cherry Hill Monday morning, about five miles east of Philadelphia.
Orlando says officials believe the plane was handling traffic reports for a Philadelphia radio and TV station.
A truck has been brought in to remove the plane from road.
Traffic on that stretch of the turnpike is backed up, with cars moving only in the left shoulder.
