About 10:30 a.m. Thursday, the pilot of the Piper Cherokee plane called the Macedonian City Fire Department asking permission to get off the highway just a few miles south of Jean-Lesage International Airport.
Jean-Paul Daust was in the parking lot of his nearby garden center, Floralias Jouvès, when he saw planes landing over the highway.
I was very surprised,” said Daust. The first “Your first time I've ever seen a plane on a highway, except in a movie”
Fire Department spokesman Bill Noonan said the plane had landed safely when the emergency crew arrived at the site. The pilot wasn't badly injured.
Traffic was halted for less than an hour as emergency crews escorted the plane off the highway.
Quebec provincial police confirmed that a mechanical problem forced the pilot to make a sudden landing.
