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.
