Read the full NTSB narrative
The airplane experienced a loss of engine power and collided with terrain during the pilot's forced landing on a residential street. After completing the en route portion of the flight, the pilot maneuvered the airplane into a descent, while manipulating the throttle aft. About 7 seconds later, the engine suddenly lost power, leaving the propeller windmilling. While the airplane glided toward a residential street, he made numerous attempts to restart the engine; however, the engine failed to produce power. The airplane's left main landing gear impacted terrain and the left wing collided with obstacles, resulting in the airplane skidding down the road. The airplane had a similar failure several months prior to the accident; however, a mechanic inspected the airplane after that occurrence and could not reproduce the failure, having no difficulty starting and running the engine. The airplane's fuel system, by design, was not prone to fuel vapor problems. Investigators examined the airplane and engine, including a 20-minute test run in an instrumented test cell, and found no discrepancies that would have precluded the engine from being capable of producing power.
