NTSB Factual Report

The commercial pilot was flying an aerial application flight to a cotton field. While applying the applicant, the pilot lost awareness of his proximity to obstacles and collided with a transmission wire. The wire damaged the airplane's vertical fin and rudder, and the pilot subsequently lost control of the airplane. The airplane then impacted a small body of water.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain clearance from wires while maneuvering.
