Imagine driving down the highway on the way to work, and a plane lands on the highway in front of you. That’s what happened in Toronto on Wednesday morning.
A small plane was forced to make an emergency landing on the 407.
Police say that the plane took off from Buttonville Airport and was had to land on the highway in Markham after experiencing difficulty in the air.
The plane managed to land safely, with no injuries, on the highway around 10:50am.
Emergency landing I guess, 407! pic.twitter.com/jzFT09FY04

A woman has filed a $5 million lawsuit against Kellogg’s alleging Pop-Tarts don’t have enough strawberries.
The class action lawsuit, filed by a woman in Illinois, alleges the brand’s marketing is “misleading because they give people the impression the fruit filling contains a greater relative and absolute amount of strawberries than it does.”
The woman also alleges that the product’s name, “Frosted Strawberry Toaster Pastries,” is “false, misleading, and deceptive” because the Pop-Tart filling contains a “relatively significant amount of non-strawberry fruit ingredients” including pears and apples. The plaintiff said she wanted more than a “strawberry taste,” which she nevertheless “failed to receive.”
Consumer lawyers don’t believe the Pop Tarts suit will succeed.
