Read the full NTSB narrative

THE ACFT COLLIDED WITH A GUARD RAIL AFTER MAKING A FORCED LANDING ON A HIGHWAY DURING A STUDENT SOLO CROSS-COUNTRY FLIGHT. THE FLIGHT HAD ORIGINATED AT VANCOUVER WA, AND THE STUDENT PILOT HAD BEEN INSTRUCTED TO REFUEL AT PENDLETON, OR.A LANDING WAS MADE AT PENDLETON, BUT SINCE THE STUDENT COULD NOT CONTACT ANYONE ON THE RADIO TOWER FREQUENCY, HE ASSUMED NO FUEL WAS AVAILABLE AND TOOK OFF AGAIN WITHOUT REFUELING. THE AIRPORT DIRECTORY STATED THAT THE AIRPORT WAS ATTENDED CONTINUOUSLY. THE TOWER HAD BEEN SHUT DOWN AFTER THE CONTROLLERS STRIKE. BUT ITS CLOSING HAD NO EFFECT ON FBO SERVICES.
