On October 20, 1995, approximately 1803 central daylight time, a Cessna T188C, N2030J, was substantially damaged during a forced landing following an in-flight collision with power lines, near Tahoka, Texas. The commercial pilot received minor injuries. The agricultural airplane, owned by the pilot, and operated by Pridmore Flying Service, was being operated under 14 CFR Part 137 when the accident occurred. The flight originated at Tahoka Airport and was applying pesticides to a nearby cotton field. No flight plan was filed and visual meteorological conditions prevailed. The pilot reported that, he was spraying a cotton field, using east-west swath runs. During a pull-up at the end of a swath run, the airplane struck power lines which were "close" to the edge of the field and oriented north-south. He further reported that, after striking the lines, the airplane lost aileron control. The pilot then executed a forced landing to an "unimproved field" approximately 2 miles south of the power lines, resulting in structural damage to the left wing and collapsed main landing gear. Additionally, scratch marks, corresponding to transmission wire, were found on the left wing and left main landing gear.
