INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, Fla. — A single-engine plane had to make an emergency landing Tuesday morning near Sebastian, fire rescue officials said.

A photo from the scene showed the plane on a grassy area surrounded by emergency personnel.

Two people were on board, according to Indian River County Fire Chief David Rattray, but no one was hurt.

It's unclear what forced the plane to make the emergency landing. The case is being investigated by federal authorities.
