Read the full NTSB narrative

WHILE RETURNING TO THE AIRPORT, THE ENGINE LOST POWER. THE PILOT LANDED LONG IN A PASTURE TO AVOID COWS, AND THEN WAS UNABLE TO STOP BEFORE HITTING A FENCE. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT THE MIXTURE LINKAGE BECAME DISCONNECTED. AFTER THE ACCIDENT, THE LINKAGE WAS RECONNECTED AND THE ENGINE WAS STARTED. HOWEVER, THE ENGINES STOPPED RUNNING ABOUT TWO MINUTES LATER WHEN NO FUEL WAS REMAINING IN THE TANKS. IT WAS NOT KNOWN WHETHER THE FUEL TANKS HAD BEEN DRAINED PRIOR TO THE ENGINE RUN-UP.
