PILOT STATED THAT WHILE AT CRUISE, THE ENGINE BEGAN RUNNING ROUGH AND A PRECAUTIONARY LANDING WAS EXECUTED. DURING THE TOUCHDOWN, THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK A BUMP DISCONNECTING THE STEERING SPRINGS. HE THEN LOST DIRECTIONAL CONTROL, STRIKING A TREE AND FENCE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DIRT ROAD. HOWEVER, WITNESSES REPORTED THAT SHORTLY BEFORE THE AIRPLANE LANDED, GROUND PERSONNEL ADVISED BYSTANDERS THAT AN AIRCRAFT WOULD BE LANDING ON THE ROAD. WITNESSES FURTHER STATED THAT THE AIRCRAFT HAD LANDED ON THE ROAD IN THE PAST TO HAVE MAINTENANCE PERFORMED AT A LOCAL GARAGE.
