NTSB Factual Report

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reported that the pilot made an emergency landing on a highway due to weather conditions. The FAA stated that during the landing roll, the airplane struck a highway sign, flipped upside down, and sustained substantial damage to the fuselage. The pilot refused to make a statement to the National Transportation Safety Board investigator-in-charge. After multiple requests, the pilot did not turn in the National Transportation Safety Board Form 6120.1 Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident/Incident Report as requested.

It is unknown if there were any pre-impact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain clearance from obstacles during an off airport precautionary landing roll.
