this is from the NTSB Prelim report.....
Both pilots described the continued descent, and how the airplane then struck power lines, trees, and terrain.

Examination of photographs revealed that several feet of thick-gauge wire were wrapped around the left propeller hub, blades, and spinner. Both the leading and trailing edges of all three blades were nicked and gouged. The blades displayed similar high-pitch angles, with one blade bent aft at mid-span.

Don't believe everything in the prelim report, heck they couldn't even get the date right on it. The accident happened on May 3 not the 2.
