The privately owned Cessna 150G (registration C-FQCS) was conducting a night visual flight rules flight from Salaberry-de-Valleyfield Airport (CSD3), Quebec to Cornwall-Summerstown Regional Airport (CYCC), Ontario. It was reported that at approximately 20:00 eastern standard time, the engine had a power loss and the pilot attempted to conduct a forced landing on or beside Highway 401, north of the Lancaster Airpark (CLA6), Ontario. Prior to landing, the aircraft collided with power lines that crossed the highway. The aircraft impacted terrain in the grassy median between the east- and west-bound highway lanes. The pilot and passenger were seriously injured and transported to a hospital in Ottawa, Ontario. The aircraft was destroyed. There was no fire. The aircraft ELT was activated.
The conditions experienced during the occurrence flight were such that visual reference to the surface was possible because of the cultural lighting provided by the Ontario and Quebec provincial highways, and various towns along the planned route. However, it would have been difficult to see the unlit power lines crossing Highway 401 or to see CLA6’s grass runway parallel to that highway.
