May 20, 1982Accident
THE PILOT WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING THE GLIDER DURING THE TOW AND RELEASED PREMATURELY. THE DESTINATION WAS 12 TO 14 MILES AWAY WITH 10-15 KT HEADWINDS. WHEN THE PILOT DECIDED THE DESTINATION COULD NOT BE MADE A ROAD WAS SELECTED FOR A FORCED LANDING BECAUSE LOCAL FIELDS WERE SOFT AND MUDDY. AT A LOW ALTITUDE THE TOW PILOT WARNED OF A TRUCK ON THE ROAD AND THE GLIDER PILOT DIVERTED TO A NEARBY FIELD. THE WING COLLIDED WITH TERRAIN RESULTING IN SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE GLIDER.
