What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot was practicing touch and go landings and the acft lost power, the pilot decided the acft would not make it to the arpt and made an emergency landing off-field, other circumstances are unknown. (-23) on takeoff the aircraft lost power in the downwind leg of closed right traffic pattern at Palm Beach county park, lna. Student pilot turned toward the airport for the forced landing. S.p. realized the approach would be long and unsuccessful. S.p. attempted a go-around. During climb on the departure, the CE-182-P again lost power. The s.p. initiated a forced landing. The CE-182 crashed into a residential neighborhood, east of lna airport. The aircraft clipped a hight power electrical wire approximately 60' AGL on the approach and then a Palm tree at about 20' AGL. The impact was in the front yard of a house located at 2111 lake bass dr., lantana, FL. The nose wheel and the propeller cut an 8' gouge in the soil. The nose gear and the right main broke off of the aircraft upon initial impact. The aircraft apparently ricocheted into the front wall of the house. The left wing hit first and absorbed a significant amount of the kinetic energy of the crash. The propeller, engine, and nose section also absorbed significant energy. The upper engine basket was severed.
