Read the full NTSB narrative

The commercial certificated pilot was landing a wheel-equipped airplane on an asphalt road near a rural ranch during a Title 14, CFR part 91 business flight. During the landing flare, the airplane stalled and the nose wheel hit the roadway, collapsing the nose landing gear. The airplane then veered off the roadway and nosed over.
