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
A forced landing was made due to a loss of power for undetermined reasons. The power loss occurred at about 600 feet AGL. A slight left turn was made to land onto a road. The aircraft's left wing struck a tree separating it from the aircraft. The aircraft's gear caught power lines and the aircraft then struck the ground. An explosion was followed by an intense fire.
