THE PRIVATE PLT WAS RETURNING FROM A BUSINESS FLIGHT. THE PLT REPORTED THAT THE ENGINE QUIT DURING THE APPROACH TO LANDING. AN EMERGENCY LANDING WAS MADE IN AN OPEN FIELD. THE RIGHT WING HIT A SIGN AND SKIDDED TO REST ACROSS A PAVED ROAD AND INTO ANOTHER OPEN FIELD. A POST ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION REVEALED FUEL IN BOTH TANKS BUT EXACT QUANTITY COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. A POST ACCIDENT ENGINE RUN DID NOT REVEAL ANY EVIDENCE TO EXPLAIN THE REPORTED ENGINE FAILURE.
