Witnesses saw the airplane flying from west to east very low along a river and then the airplane colliding with power lines. An FAA inspector responded to the accident site and examined the wreckage. He located damage to the leading edge of the right wing consistent with the airplane contacting power lines. The FAA inspector noted no preimpact mechanical anomalies with the airplane or engine.
