A small private plane landed on the Loudoun County Parkway on Friday afternoon.
The southbound lanes of Loudoun County Parkway were closed as police responded to the emergency landing, the Virginia Department of Transportation said in a social media statement. An earlier tweet stated that all lanes were closed, but the northbound lanes remain open.
A photo shared by VDOT showed traffic stopped and police lights flashing on the roadway as emergency responders dealt with the plane.
The reasons for the emergency landing were not immediately shared, but winter weather caused traffic havoc around the DMV on Friday, and forced a ground stop at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Friday morning.
