THE TREE IS APPROXIMATELY 55 FEET TALL AND THE AIRCRAFT'S LEFT WING IMPACTED THE TREE ABOUT TEN FEET DOWN FROM THE TOP. THE LEFT WING SHOWS IMPACT DAMAGE WITH TREE LIMBS EMBEDDED IN THE LEADING EDGE OF THE WING NEAR THE WING TIP. THE AIRCRAFT THEN COLLIDED WITH A CONSTRUCTION PICKUP TRUCK PARKED IN THE CASHMERE HIGH SCHOOL PARKING LOT. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST 10 FEET FROM THE PICKUP TRUCK AND APPROXIMATELY 75 FEET FROM THE TREE. THE AIRCRAFT WAS CONSUMED BY FIRE. THE PILOT WAS FATALLY INJURED. THE PILOT'S ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ FAMILY INDICATED THAT HE WAS FLYING HOME TO SEATTLE BUT HAD INTENTIONS TO LAND AT WENATCHEE OR CASHMERE IF THE WEATHER DID NOT ALLOW HIM TO GET TO SEATTLE.
