Read the full NTSB narrative

While in cruise flight, the pilot became ill and decided he could not safely continue to fly the airplane to the destination airport. The pilot then initiated a forced landing to a field a few miles from the airport. During the forced landing, the airplane impacted a rising embankment and came to rest upright in the field. Examination of the airplane by the inspector revealed the nose gear was separated and the firewall was buckled.
