Read the full NTSB narrative

THE PILOT STATED THAT AFTER ABOUT TWO HOURS OF FLIGHT HE NOTICED THAT HIS FUEL QUANTITY WAS TOO LOW FOR HIM TO MAKE IT TO HIS DESTINATION. HE MADE A PRECAUTIONARY LANDING ON A ROAD WHERE HE HAD SEEN OTHER AIRPLANES LAND IN THE PAST. DURING THE LANDING ROLL THE RIGHT WING HIT A ROAD SIGN.
