MORGAN HILL, Calif. (KGO) -- Investigators are examining the details behind the emergency landing of a small plane with four people on board near Highway 101 in Morgan Hill.

The plane made the landing Saturday just after 11 p.m. barely missing power lines. It ended up blocking a southbound lane at Cochrane Road. The co-pilot says he and the three others were flying back from a dinner at Harris Ranch. Everyone on board walked away safely.

The co-pilot says despite the circumstances, that was one of the smoothest landings he's ever been a part of.
