PD,

More photos have been published. It went through the fence on the north side of Highway 1, which is a busy four-lane divided highway.


The right wing is behind the Mountie walking on the road.


Note you can see the ATC tower to the right of the fence post, in the photo above.

The Mooney was clearly very low as it crossed the highway. No mention of it hitting any vehicles, which was very lucky. There are no tall poles in this area. It looks like the damage was caused by the wing hitting the edge of the ditch on the side of the highway.

A TV report says this happened after takeoff. I don't know which of the four runways was in use, but I'm speculating that this was a turn back.
