Event Location
Probable Cause
The operator's failure to maintain clearance from objects during the landing roll. Contributing to the accident was the operator's decision to operate a vehicle for which he/she was not certified.
Full Narrative
According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the experimental airplane was stolen from the Skylark Field Airport, Killeen, Texas, approximately 0030 central daylight time. A short time later the airplane landed in a nearby street.
