Small plane makes emergency landing in a field off Greens Prairie Road; fire department reports no serious injuries

A small plane came down in a field off Greens Prairie Road on Tuesday afternoon, and no one was seriously hurt, according to the College Station Fire Department.

The department told KXXV that it was called shortly before 1 p.m. and that engine failure caused the landing. KXXV reported no injuries and no fire. KBTX, also citing the fire department, reported that no serious injuries had been found.

Where it landed

KXXV said the plane came down in Greens Prairie Reserve, a neighborhood still being developed off Greens Prairie Road. KBTX placed the site beside a construction area near where Hickory Bark Road meets Greens Prairie Road, close to Legendary Drive.

KBTX reported that Flightradar24 tracking data showed an aircraft's transponder signal ending in that area at about 12:30 p.m., and that the aircraft had taken off from Beaumont Municipal Airport. The reports reviewed for this story did not say how many people were aboard or what type of plane it was, and officials had not publicly named anyone involved.

Who is looking into it

Officers from College Station police and the Brazos County Sheriff's Office, along with state troopers from DPS, were on scene Tuesday waiting for federal investigators from the FAA or the National Transportation Safety Board, KBTX reported. No cause other than the engine failure described by the fire department had been released.
