A piece of a small plane flying over Southlake fell off Friday afternoon and landed between two parked cars, police and the Federal Aviation Administration said.
It happened about 5 p.m. in the 200 block of East Continental Boulevard.
Nobody was hurt.
The plane, a Beechcraft King Air BE-350 turbo prop, was flying from Jacksonville, Texas, to Decatur when a metal piece that covers an engine came loose, said FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory. The piece is known as a cowling.
The pilot immediately diverted to Fort Worth Meacham Airport and landed without incident, she said.
The name of the pilot was not released.
