A WITNESS STATED IT APPEARED AS THOUGH THE PLT WAS ATTEMPTING TO PERFORM A PRECAUTIONARY LANDING ON A HIGHWAY. AS THE ACFT REACHED THE HIGHWAY, THE WITNESS HEARD THE ENGINE ACCELERATE TO 'FULL POWER' AND SAW THE ACFT PULL UP. THE ACFT CONTACTED THE TOP STATIC WIRE OF A 125 FT HIGH POWER LINE LOCATED APRX 100 YARDS WEST OF THE HIGHWAY. THE ACFT TUMBLED AND IMPACTED IN AN OPEN FIELD 588 FT FROM THE POINT OF WIRE IMPACT. NO MECHANICAL FAILURES/MALFUNCTIONS WERE FOUND DURING THE INVESTIGATION. AUTOPSY REVEALED EVIDENCE THAT THE PLT HAD SUFFERED A SUBENDOCARDIAL MYOCARDICAL INFRACTION SOME TIME BEFORE THE ACCIDENT.
