ANDYTOWN, Fla. A small plane made an emergency landing Wednesday afternoon near mile marker 33 on Interstate 75, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

No one was hurt, and the plane didn’t create a roadblock. The plane, carrying two people, wound up on the eastbound shoulder.

The stretch of Alligator Alley where the plane landed cuts through the Everglades Wildlife Management Area in Broward County. It’s roughly 10 miles from the nearest exit.
