## Discrepancy

(CAN) PER NEWS REPORTS, THE ACFT LANDED ON THE HIGHWAY FOLLOWING AN ENGINE POWER LOSS.  THE LANDING WAS MADE SAFELY WITHOUT ANY COLLISIONS WITH CARS OR INJURIES TO THOSE ON BOARD. MFG WILL FOLLOW UP WITH THE ENGINE INVESTIGATION. UPDATE NR 1: IAW PILOT REPORT, A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD FOLLOWED BY LOSS OF POWER.  POST LANDING INSPECTION FOUND THE PROPELLER FREE TO MORE BUT THE COMPRESSOR ROTOR SEIZED.  THE NTSB HAS TAKEN CHARGE OF THIS INVESTIGATION AND ALSO TAKEN CUSTODY OF THE AIRCRAFT/ENGINE.  OFFER TO SEND THE ENGINE TO MFG FOR INVESTIGATION WAS MADE AND ACCEPTED BY THE NTSB.  THE ENGINE INFO HAS BEEN ADDED.
