On January 28, 2023, about 1720 eastern standard time, a Beech A23, N16TH, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Miami, Florida. The pilot and three passengers were not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
According to the pilot, he was on a local flight at an altitude of 1,000 ft., when he noticed the engine starting to lose power. He switched fuel tanks in an attempt to regain power, but the engine power did not return. He determined that a nearby road would be the safest place to land and started his approach. During the landing flare the airplane struck a bus and skidded off the road, colliding with a pole.
An examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed the right wing sustained substantial damage to the leading edge. The airplane was recovered and retained for further examination.
