Probable cause
The loss of engine power for undetermined reasons. Contributing to the severity of the accident was: the lack of a suitable landing area.
Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The airplane had flown about four miles after takeoff when the engine quit. The pilot selected the only place available and landed on a highway. One wheel was on the highway, and one was on the median. The nose wheel hit a hole and collapsed. Nothing could be found to establish a reason for the power loss.
