Plane Makes Emergency Landing in Southern Illinois

A small plane had to make an emergency landing in Perry County Wednesday.
State Police say they were called out around 4:15 yesterday afternoon to reports of a plane in trouble.

Police found the Cessna 210 had landed safely in a field just off Lost Prairie Road, near Lilac Road.

Troopers say the pilot, 33-year old Ronald Coyne of Clarksville Tennessee, was not injured in the incident. He was flying to St. Louis when he ran into trouble.
