Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot reported that he intended to land on a road just outside of town. The pilot overflew the road to check for obstacles. The pilot did not see any obstacles along the road and set-up for a landing. The pilot reported that the airplane touched down further down the road than intended and the left wing collided with a road sign that the pilot did not see from the air. The airplane veered slightly to the left of the road centerline and the left wing collided with a tree. The airplane veered further to the left and onto the shoulder where the airplane subsequently collided with a mound of dirt before coming to rest 90 degrees from the direction of travel.
