(OCEAN CITY, N.J.) Officials announced a small plane made an emergency landing near Ocean City on Monday, according to PIX 11.
The pilot was riding by himself on the single-engine Piper J3C-65 Cub when it came down on the Route 52 bridge just before 1 p.m., according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The FAA and the National Safety Transportation Board both launched an investigation into the emergency landing.
A local near the scene posted video footage to Twitter after the plane was grounded on the roadway.
The plane was being operated by a teenage pilot for Paramount Air Service. It was able to land without any damages or injuries to anyone, according to an Ocean City spokesman.
