THE AIRCRAFT TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 2/4 MILE TO THE NORTH FROM THE POINT OF IMPACT WITH THE POWER LINE, MADE A 180 DEGREE TURN AND IMPACTED THE GROUND ON A 190 DEGREE HEADING.

THE PILOT AND PASSENGER ESCAPED FROM THE WRECKAGE WITH NO BURNS, BUT BOTH SUSTAINED SERIOUS INJURIES AS A RESULT OF THE IMPACT WITH THE GROUND.
