thought this Ercoupe incident appropriate to post given the discussions here about landing on highways:

 

On 7-10-2004:

According to a California Highway Patrol (CHP) sergeant that responded to the scene, the pilot made an emergency landing on northbound Interstate 5 after the engine lost power. Vehicles saw the airplane and slowed; however, upon touchdown the left wing of the airplane clipped a van, and the airplane veered from the highway and came to rest inverted. Fuel was present at the scene.

According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the pilot's certificate had been suspended since 1996.

 

And yes, "univair" is the parent name the NTSB uses to list Ercoupes
