Plane makes emergency landing in Pottawatomie Co

(KMZA)--No injuries were reported after a plane made an emergency landing in Pottawatomie County Wednesday morning.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reports the pilot, 39-year-old Lincoln, Nebraska resident Drew Jensen, said he ran out of fuel due to a defective fuel selector on his Beech 836 Bonanza aircraft. 

Jensen made an emergency landing in a grass meadow about 13 miles east of Manhattan around 8:40, west of Lake Elbo and Noel Roads.

There were two passengers on board the plane, both from Nebraska.

The Patrol said there was no damage to the plane from the incident.
