Just after 2 pm a pilot from Anahuac Texas had flown to Cleveland. He was on the return trip to Anahuac when he lost the engine to his gyrocopter at 1500 feet. He attempted an autorotation into a church parking lot but saw he was heading for a mobile home community and overcorrected causing him to crash in front of Embrace Fellowship Church on Antique Lane just off US 59. in New Caney. The pilot suffered a groin injury from the control stick but did not require medical attention. The pilot said this is his second crash, the first was in a single seater 40-years ago.
