Unfortunately it sounds like a fatality was reported when it crashed into the power lines :confused:...

CNN: "The crash involved a crop-duster-style aircraft, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said on Facebook, a general term for a plane that drops pesticides or other materials over an agricultural area."

Looked up the tail # (N17043) it was a Cessna 150... Personally I've never seen that doing any crop-dusting work...
 

Narrative:
A Cessna 150L struck power lines on approach to West Houston Airport (IWS/KIWS), Houston, Texas, crashed and ended up upside down.
The sole pilot died and the aircraft was written off.
