Plane makes emergency landing on Ga. 400

DAWSONVILLE - A small single-engine plane made an emergency landing in the median of Georgia 400 in Dawson County Sunday.

The pilot was William Reister of Dunwoody.

He left from Briscoe Field in Lawrenceville Sunday morning and planned to land the two-seat Lancair 320 at the same airfield. However, the plane uncontrollably lost altitude and was unable to reach its destination.

Reister reported the loss of power before landing the plane in the median of the four-lane highway near Dawson Forest Rd. No one was injured, and there were no major traffic delays resulting from the emergency landing.
