The student and instructor then pushed the plane out of the two-lane road and into a nearby driveway in order to clear the area for passing vehicles.
There were no injuries reported during this incident. The plane suffered damage to its propeller and a wing.
About 50 homes and businesses in Denton County lost power on Wednesday morning as a result of the damaged power lines. Crews from CoServ Electric worked to restore service to those customers within about 90 minutes.
