Read the full NTSB narrative

THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE HAD TAKEN OFF ON A LOCAL FLIGHT AND WAS AT ABOUT 1000 FT AGL WHEN THE ENGINE LOST POWER. HE ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE ENGINE, BUT WAS UNABLE. THE AIRCRAFT WAS LANDED FIRMLY ON A ROADWAY. THE PILOT SMELLED GAS FUMES AND EXITED FROM THE AIRCRAFT. THE AIRCRAFT THEN BEGAN BURNING AND WAS DESTROYED BY FIRE. THE PILOT STATED THAT WHILE THE TOUCHDOWN WAS HARDER THAN NORMAL, HE FELT THAT NO DAMAGE OCCURRED DURING THE LANDING. HE BELIEVED THAT A FUEL LINE HAD FAILED WHICH RESULTED IN A LOSS OF POWER AND ALSO STARTED A FIRE AFTER LANDING. HOWEVER, THIS WAS NOT VERIFIED.
