At first glance, if this was indeed an engine failure, as reported in HeliHenry’s post, it looks like the pilot did a good job. From the overhead video footage of the crash site, there are plenty of powerlines to contend with. There’s no evidence that I can see of significant forward motion at touchdown and the skids look substantially intact meaning a controlled rate of descent. I wonder if there was some yaw at touch down, or entanglement in the adjacent wire fence causing the roll-over?
