On May 6, 2023, about 1307 eastern daylight time, a Piper PA-28-140, N678FL, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Clyde, Ohio. The private pilot was seriously injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
According to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspectors, the pilot was practicing takeoffs and landings at Sandusky Regional Airport (S24), Clyde, Ohio. After takeoff from runway 6, the engine “sputtered” and lost all power. The pilot attempted to return to the airport; however, he was unable to maintain altitude, and the airplane impacted a cornfield located about ½ mile northeast of S24. The pilot was met by first responders and was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of his injuries.
The wreckage came to rest upright, and there was no fire. The right wing separated from the fuselage during the impact sequence and was located adjacent to the main wreckage, with the right, main landing gear still attached. The fuselage was buckled. The engine remained attached to the fuselage, and the propeller remained attached to the engine.
The wreckage was retained for further examination.
