Emergency landing: Airplane uses North Spokane Corridor as runway

A small passenger plane had to make an emergency landing on the North Spokane Corridor (NSC) on Saturday afternoon.

The plane landed on the NSC between Wellesley, milepost 161, and Freya.

According to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), no injuries were reported and the NSC was closed until they could figure out how to get the plane off the roadway.

As of around 3:30 p.m., WSDOT reported that the plane would be taking off southbound from the closed section of the NSC just south of Wellesley.

Shortly after departing all lanes reopened to traffic.
