Can’t possibly be an engine failure, not with a Rotax can it???? Glad the pilot survived and hopefully can recover to fly again!

Despite the hysterical news reporting, it looks like the cockpit has remained largely intact - the pilots injuries are likely to be survivable - a relativly good outcome.

 

Note the orientation of the aircraft, relative to the dirt road behind it - pilot probably trying to land on road and has, unfortunately, overshot
