The NTSB's narrative final · quoted from the NTSB record
The pilot stated that approximately two to three miles from the runway, the engine "experienced engine failure." He reported that he was not able to make the runway, so he "banked right for the least congested area adjacent to the nearest road." The airplane struck the top of an unoccupied van in a junkyard, the right wing hit a tree, the left wing contacted an electric utility pole, and the airplane continued through a 6 foot tall chain link fence before coming to rest on a road. An examination of the engine and airframe revealed no pre-existing mechanical anomalies.
