A single-engine plane carrying three people crash-landed early Wednesday morning in Colorado Springs, according to law enforcement.
The pilot made an emergency landing on Powers Boulevard near Barnes Road, where the plane is now leaking fuel, according to a 4:38 a.m. post from the Colorado Springs Fire Department. It’s unknown what forced the pilot to land.
None of the three people on board the plane was injured, according to fire officials. Photos posted by the fire department show damage to the plane’s wings and tail.
Two lanes of southbound Powers Boulevard were closed Wednesday morning for the crash cleanup and investigation, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department.
Traffic will be affected “throughout the morning rush hour and for the foreseeable future,” police said.
The Federal Aviation Administration is responding to investigate the crash, fire officials said.
