CESSNA 210D
THE PRIVATE PLT, ALONE IN THE AIRCRAFT, WAS PERFORMING A LANDING ON A PAVED ROAD AT A HUNTING RESORT. DURING FINAL APPROACH THE CESSNA STRUCK POWER LINES AND DAMAGED THE NOSE GEAR. THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN ON THE ROAD AND THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED. A POST ACCIDENT INSPECTION REVEALED A BENT ENGINE TUNNEL AND FIREWALL. THE PLT STATED THAT HE HAD BEEN TOLD THAT THERE WERE HIGH TENSION WIRES ON EACH END OF THE ROAD WHICH HE OBSERVED DURING SEVERAL LOW PASSES THAT HE MADE BEFORE LANDING. HE DID NOT OBSERVE, HOWEVER, TWO SMALLER WIRES UNTIL IMMEDIATELY BEFORE CONTACTING THEM.
