ACCORDING TO THE PILOT WEATHER WAS CLEAR AT TIME OF DEPARTURE WITH CLOUDS AT ABOUT 4000-4500 FEET BUT CLR ABOVE. HE ENTERED A BREAK IN THE CLOUDS AND BEGAN FOLLOWING A ROAD. AS THE WEATHER BEGAN CLOSING IN FROM ABOVE AND THE ROAD BECAME CURVY, THE PILOT HAD TO MAKE QUICKER AND QUICKER TURNS. THE ACFT BECAME LOW AND THE STALL WARNING BUZZER SOUNDED. THE ACFT STALLED INTO THE TREES AT ABOUT 60 MPH WITH FULL THROTTLE AND A NOSE HIGH ATTITUDE.
