Read the full NTSB narrative
THE PILOT WAS MAKING A LOW PASS OVER THE GROUND FOR A POSSIBLE OFF AIRPORT LANDING NEXT TO HIS FARM. DURING THE LOW APPROACH, HE NOTICED POWER LINES AHEAD AND PUSHED FORWARD ON THE CONTROLS TO CLEAR UNDER THEM. HOWEVER, THERE WAS A WRECKED VEHICLE BELOW THE POWER LINES WITH ITS HOOD UP. THE NOSE GEAR STRUCK THE HOOD AND THEN THE AIRCRAFT CONTACTED THE GROUND AND SLID TO A STOP.
