Commuters in Nevada found themselves in an unusual traffic snag Monday morning when a single-engine aircraft made an unexpected landing on US50 near Stagecoach, according to state authorities. The Nevada State Police posted an alert on social media advising motorists of lane closures and potential delays near Lyon County mile marker 23. The incident, which occurred without injury, prompted first responders to rush to the scene. Travelers were urged to exercise caution and stay vigilant for the presence of emergency personnel.
For the most current travel information, Nevada State Police continues to direct drivers to the Nevada 511 system. With officials managing the situation, the flow of cars and daily life on US50 are expected to resume as normal once the aircraft is removed and the road is deemed safe for travel once again.
