THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE WAS ON A LOCAL FLIGHT WHEN THE WEATHER BEGAN TO DETERIORATE. HE DECIDED TO MAKE A PRECAUTIONARY LANDING IN A LARGE BEAN FIELD. WHILE ON A LANDING APPROACH, THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK A UTILITY LINE, WRAPPING THE WIRE AROUND THE PROPELLER AND ENGINE COWLING. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE PILOT WAS FORCED TO LAND IN AN ADJACENT FIELD WHICH WAS ON A ROLLING HILLSIDE. DURING THE LANDING, THE LEFT WING AND NOSE GEAR HIT THE TERRAIN RESULTING IN FURTHER DAMAGE.
