Probable cause
THE ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO FUEL STARVATION RESULTING FROM THE COLLAPSE AT THE FUEL CELL. THE FACT THAT THE FORCED LANDING WAS MADE IN DARK NIGHT CONDITIONS WAS A FACTOR.

WHILE CRUISING TOWARDS THE DESTINATION AIRPORT, THE PILOT SAID THAT THE ENGINE LOST POWER. AN EMERGENCY LANDING WAS ATTEMPTED, AT NIGHT, AND DURING THE ATTEMPT THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK TREES AND A FENCE. POST ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE RIGHT WING FUEL CELL HAD BECOME DETACHED AT THE TOP AND COLLAPSED. THIS COLLAPSE DECREASED THE TOTAL QUANTITY OF FUEL AVAILABLE FROM THAT WING TANK. THE INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE FUEL TANKS TO BE EMPTY OF USEABLE FUEL.
