Translation below provided for information only:
As the aircraft is on downwind to land on runway 33, the pilot moved the throttle lever to increase power but the engine doesn’t respond. Realising that he will not be able to reach the runway, the pilot decided to land in a cornfield. At the end of the landing run, the aircraft struck an embankment and then a power line.
