On July 19, 2022, about 2200 Pacific daylight time, a Zenith CH-701, N8787G, sustained substantial damage when it was involved in an accident near Bothell, Washington. The pilot and passenger sustained serious injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot stated that before takeoff, he topped off the fuel tanks to full. After departure, he maneuvered clear of the surrounding Class B airspace and proceeded to the destination airport. As he approached the proximity of the airport, he turned the airplane east, on a path to adjoin the right downwind-leg of the traffic pattern for Runway 34L. When the airplane was about 6 nautical miles (nm) from the airport, he began the descent to the traffic pattern altitude of 1,600 ft mean sea level (msl). Immediately thereafter, the engine experienced a total loss of power and the propeller stopped.
The pilot further stated that he attempted to restart the engine by turning on the auxiliary fuel pump and the carburetor heat. The engine did not respond, and the pilot maneuvered the airplane toward a vacant road to make an off-airport landing. The airplane collided with high-tension powerlines and descended onto the road below.
