A small plane lost power and had to make an emergency landing Friday evening near Brantford, Ont.

Brantford police said no injuries have been reported and the plane was undamaged.

Ontario Provincial Police added that the aircraft experienced “mechanical failure.”

The road is expected to remain closed for some time as the plane clipped a power line.

GrandBridge Energy said HydroOne crews will be making repairs.

Police have been in touch with nearby airports and they will be notifying Transport Canada.
