Pilot Lands Cessna 182 On California City Street

Reported An Engine Failure Inbound To Bakersfield Municipal Airport

A pilot landed a Cessna 182 on a city street in Bakersfield, CA last Friday after reporting an engine failure to air traffic control.

Television station KERO reports that the incident occurred just before midnight on Friday. The plane was approaching Bakersfield Municipal Airport when the pilot reported that he had lost power and declared an emergency. The pilot landed the plane on the city street, reportedly hitting a traffic light pole with its right wing. Fortunately, neither the pilot or a passenger on board the airplane were injured.

The plane is registered to a Casus Santos of Ventura, CA.

The Kern County, CA Sheriff's Office and Fire Department responded to the landing and blocked off the street on which the airplane stopped.

There were no reported injuries on the ground, and the plane did not hit any vehicles during the emergency landing.
