Introduction
On an unspecified date, a Piper PA-28 (registration N81029) and a Cessna 172P (registration N53442) were approaching to land on Runway 14 when they collided approximately 1,000 feet from the runway threshold. The collision resulted in both aircraft crashing, with the Piper entering an uncontrolled descent and the Cessna crash-landing in a parking lot, where it struck a car.
Accident Sequence
The pilot of the Piper reported entering the traffic pattern and explaining the mechanics of the pattern to his daughter. After making a normal landing, he performed a "runway takeoff" and began a second traffic pattern. While on the base leg for his second landing, he heard another pilot call on a left downwind. He then transmitted that he was on base leg and continued looking for other traffic. On final approach, he saw the shadow of the Cessna on his airplane just before impact.
The Cessna pilot reported that he had tracked to a radio beacon. After passing the beacon, he started a long final approach. He called on a long final approach about 2 miles out and looked for other aircraft. Just prior to the collision, he saw the Piper converging from below. After impact, he had partial control until he crash-landed in a parking lot and hit a car.
Aftermath
The Piper crashed in an uncontrolled descent following the collision. No further details on the outcome for occupants or property damage beyond the described events are provided in the source.
Conclusion
The source does not state a probable cause for the accident.
