There are no injuries after a small aircraft made an emergency landing in Goodyear.

Goodyear fire officials say the airplane was forced to land in a dirt road after smoke began coming out of the cockpit Saturday afternoon.

The aircraft landed without incident near Rainbow Valley and Germann roads.

Authorities say two people were on board but were not seriously hurt.

It was not immediately known from where the plane took off.

Goodyear police spokeswoman Lisa Kutis says the scene is being cleared.

The National Transportation Safety Board is planning to investigate.
