It happened on Highway 27 near Evensville.

The pilot who has been identify as Tom Web from Morristown TN told our photographer on scene he was 55-hundred feet up in the air when he encountered total engine failure and was forced to land.

No one was hurt and traffic didn't seem to be too backed up.
