Traffic, fortunately sparse on Friday after the holiday goings, was cut on the A89 towards Bordeaux Clermont-Ferrand from the tollgate Saint-Germain-les-Vergnes Tulle and exit North.

The few drivers present on the road, shortly after the landing of the aircraft were surprised by an unusual sight. As evidenced by this video, filmed by a user. “Something crazy” as he repeats itself …”
