Piper Cherokee Lands on Quebec Autoroute

Plane had been sitting for a while, picked a nice sunny day to go flying in his well maintained machine.

Could be water in the fuel from the sounds of the article.

Does anyone know what the aftermath of a highway landing is?
Do you Toff again on the highway or is the plane disassembled and hauled off in a trailer?
Also is there a fine for landing on a highway?

I've landed twice on major highways in the prairies. Both due to engine failures.

The first time was a field repair. I called the RCMP and had the highway shut down for 2 mins for a departure. On the initial call, they only questioned if it was an accident/crash. The RCMP didn't really ask too many questions, nor did I give too many details. They shut down roughly a 2 miles stretch for me. I taxi'd out of the yard site and took off. Never heard from them again. I must have had about 10-15 cruisers come out for the air show.

The 2nd time was another field repair. I had company vehicles act as blockers with radios. I called them up if it was all clear, they took position, and I took off. Another non-event.

Looks like the guy or gal did a great job. Kudos! It get the ticker going when it spools down.
