CARLSBAD, Calif. (AP) — A small airplane made a safe emergency landing on a state beach on the San Diego County coast Thursday morning, authorities said.

Three people aboard the plane got out and there were no reports of injuries, California State Parks said in a statement to KGTV.

The single-engine Piper-PA28R-200 set down on narrow Carlsbad State Beach and later could be seen being pushed around by waves.

The beach is about 30 miles north of downtown San Diego.
