A further report indicates the plane clipped a power pole during the landing.

According to Virginia State Police, their preliminary investigation revealed that the plane suffered engine failure after taking off from Warrenton Airport.

The aircraft made an emergency landing on Route 3 and then struck a utility pole. The impact also caused the aircraft to strike a fence.

The pilot, 47-year-old Hyunju V. Ko, was not injured in the crash.

There were also two juveniles in the plane, but they weren't injured.
