On August 9, 2022, about 1231 Pacific daylight time, a Piper, PA-32-300, N841AD, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Corona, California. The pilot and passenger were not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot reported that he adjusted the engine power to level off and reduce airspeed while entering the downwind leg of the traffic pattern for runway 25. He stated the engine did not respond and he cycled the throttle several times with no change. The airplane was unable to maintain altitude and the pilot elected to make a forced landing onto the eastbound lanes of US freeway 91. During the landing flare, to prevent the airplane from impacting a car, the pilot intentionally stalled the airplane. The airplane subsequently landed hard, rotated to the right (clockwise) and impacted freeway barrier. He and the passenger exited the airplane. A postaccident fire ensured.
The wreckage was recovered to a secure location for further examination.
