A small plane making a medical emergency landing at Jean overshoot the runway and made a hard landing this afternoon.

None of the three occupants was injured in the 1 p.m. incident at Jean Sport Aviation Center, but one was transported to a hospital for the medical emergency. The plane was headed for Henderson Executive Airport from Southern California, according to McCarran International Airport spokeswoman Christine Crews.

"A Cessna 172 overshot the runway and made a hard landing and was damaged," Crews said. "A parallel runway will be closed until a crane can be brought in to remove it. The Federal Aviation Administration and the National transportation Board have been notified."

There is no projected time for the runway to re-open at the small airport, Crews said.
