We’re going to need a big tow truck, plane and simple

Workers lift a Cessna 172 from alongside I-80 near Park City onto a trailer on Monday. The small passenger plane was forced to make an emergency landing on the eastbound lanes of the freeway between Jeremy Ranch and Kimball Junction after its engine failed Saturday evening. Despite the plane’s engine troubles, the pilot — Jackson Walker, of Idaho Falls — was able to land safely, without sustaining any injuries to himself or his one passenger, without hitting any motorists, and without causing any structural damage to the plane itself.
