I saw this happen with a Frontier Airlines 737 Jet a number of years ago. It was supposed to be landing at Casper Air Terminal; however, it set down on an abandoned field about 30 miles away instead. The runway was not long enough to fly the plane back out and Casper had to dispatch a bus. They dismantled and trucked the plane out of there.

You know, truckers from time to time pull off to the side of the road when they are too tired to drive. Maybe this was the case for this pilot.

Same thing happened in Columbus Ohio. Didn't land at Port Columbus, but at Don Scott, OSU's airport. They had to remove everything removable before it could take off.

I heard air force guys say they lived in fear of landing on the Maine Turnpike.That was a long time age and I would not think that would happen in this day. Used to be a big base up near the pike.
