What happened
During a routine mission, the pilot of an agricultural spray airplane departed to treat a field with approximately two hours of fuel remaining on board. Approximately 1.5 hours into the flight, while returning to a private airstrip, the aircraft's engine lost power.
The pilot attempted to execute a forced landing onto a gravel road; however, upon observing an approaching vehicle, the pilot maneuvered the aircraft to avoid ground traffic. During a left bank, the stall warning light illuminated. As the pilot began to flare approximately 50 feet above the ground, the aircraft stalled, causing the left wing to drop prior to impacting the terrain.
The impact resulted in substantial damage to the aircraft, and the pilot was not injured.
