Coming in Hot! Plane Lands on Major Canadian Highway

On Thursday morning, a Piper PA-28 Cherokee landed safely on Highway 40, not far south of the Québec City International Airport. Footage recorded by a driver on the road and shared on Twitter captures the small, private aircraft lowering down from the sky and smoothly landing between the fast-moving cars. 

“A suspected mechanical issue caused the pilot to perform this forced landing. No injuries reported,” Tom Podolec Aviation wrote in a Twitter post. 

Crisis averted!
