Read the full NTSB narrative
While ferrying the airplane from one field to another, at an altitude of 50 feet, to continue the aerial application flight, the airplane's engine "coughed or backfired." The pilot performed a forced landing to a road, during which the airplane flipped over and was substantially damaged. Examination of the radial engine revealed no mechanical anomalies, other than carbon deposits observed in the carburetor intake.
