According to Tim Gaffney, director of administration for the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office, the FAA informed the authorities about a small aircraft that sent a mayday signal and was descending.

The pilot, his wife and 10-year-old daughter remained uninjured.

The eastbound lanes were closed for traffic immediately after the incident but were re-opened at around 9:45 p.m.

The FAA will investigate.
