A vintage small plane crashed onto the 101 in Agoura Hills on Tuesday afternoon, shutting down the freeway in both directions, authorities said.

Los Angeles County firefighters arrived at the crash site near Liberty Canyon Road about 1:50 p.m. According to spokeswoman Vanessa Lozano, the plane crashed “in the middle of the freeway.”

No injuries were reported, and no one was taken to a hospital. Los Angeles County Fire Department spokesman Marvin Lim said he did not know whether the pilot was able to safely exit the plane himself or had been removed by rescuers.

At about 4:15pm slow lanes were open again, said California Highway Patrol spokesman Chris Baldonado. Because the crash happened between the on-and off ramps, traffic was directed off the freeway and immediately back on the other side of the crash.
