An emergency prompted a small plane to land on Colonial Drive this morning.

The incident took place this morning before 9:30 a.m., according to a statement issued by the Orange County Fire Rescue.

The private plane was forced to emergency land on the median of East Colonial Drive and Taylor Creek.
