The pilot told authorities they had lost power, and during the landing experienced slick conditions causing the aircraft to slide off the roadway, turning up on its nose before settling safely back on the ground.

Neither of the two adult occupants were injured. At this time, no property damage has been reported.

The FAA was notified and working with the pilot to remove the plane from the area.
