Read the full NTSB narrative
THE ACFT COLLIDED WITH THE ROOF OF A TRAILER TRUCK DURING AN APPROACH TO LAND OVER A TOLL ROAD. THE COLLISION SEPARATED THE LEFT MAIN GEAR FROM THE ACFT AND DAMAGED THE OTHER TWO LANDING GEAR. THE IMPACT LEFT TWO DEPRESSIONS ABOUT 2 INCHES DEEP IN THE EDGE OF THE TRUCKS ROOF AND TIRE MARKS ACROSS THE ENTIRE ROOF FROM SIDE TO SIDE. THE PILOT LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT AFTER CIRCLING SO THAT CRASH EQUIPMENT COULD GET INTO POSITION FOR HIS LANDING.
