Incident Details
Approximately 25 minutes after departing from a planned intermediate stop, the right fuel tank of the aircraft ran dry. The pilot switched to the left fuel tank and decided to divert to a nearby airport to refuel. However, during the descent, the left fuel tank also ran dry, and the engine quit due to fuel exhaustion.
Emergency Landing
The pilot identified a dirt road suitable for an emergency landing and set up an approach. While on short final, the pilot observed a truck pulling onto the road ahead. To avoid the truck, the pilot subsequently landed the aircraft on the nose gear, causing it to collapse.
Pilot Actions
Before departure, the pilot did not visually check the fuel quantity in the tanks. Instead, the pilot relied on the statement from line personnel that the tanks had been topped off. This reliance contributed to the fuel exhaustion scenario.
