I could not find any article in english but here are some pictures of a
Piper Archer that landed on a french highway yesterday and took off on
the same highway the next day.
The road looked pretty narrow for that plane and not straight too !
All the articles I read state that the issue was with fuel ( that's
pretty vague ).

They just let him take off and be on his way? Didn't he violate any
regulations or something?


Having viewed the second set of photos, it appears he ran out of gas and
dinged the right wing leading edge, inboard of the wingtip.
