KTNV reached out to the Federal Aviation Administration about this plane landing. Public Affairs Specialist, Donnell Evans, said a single-engine Diamond DA-20 landed on the US 95. However, the FAA said the plane landed due to "engine issues."

A total of two people were on board according to the FAA.

The FAA is continuing to investigate the landing. KTNV will provide more updates as they become available.
