Southbound lanes near Coyote Creek Golf Drive were briefly closed.

The four people inside a plane that made an emergency landing on U.S. Highway 101 late Saturday night walked away without any injuries, according to the California Highway Patrol.

At 11:04 p.m., the CHP received a report of the plane landing on Highway 101 just south of Coyote Creek Golf Drive, the CHP said.

Officers shut down the southbound lanes of the highway momentarily as a tow truck towed the plane off the highway, a CHP dispatcher said. There were no reports of any vehicle accidents as a result of the landing.
