<p>Highway 116 west of Duncans Mills was closed Friday afternoon at Highway 1 after a private plane made an emergency landing and took down nearby PG&E wires, CHP Sgt. Robert Mota said.</p><p>The plane went down at 4:16 p.m., but Mota said it was unclear if it made an emergency landing because it had hit the wires or if it struck the wires while landing.</p><p>One person in the plane sustained minor injuries. Mota said it was unclear how many people were in the plane or what type it was.</p><p>PG&E crews were on their way to repair the downed wires, but Mota said Highway 116 was likely to be closed at least until 7 p.m. while crews replaced wires and the plane was removed.</p><p>“It’s just best to stay away from the area,” he said.</p><p>He recommended using such alternative routes as Moscow Road, Bohemian Highway and Coleman Valley Road or Cazadero Highway and Fort Ross Road.</p>
