Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot departed in his airplane to evade law enforcement officers and flew to an airport to refuel. Law enforcement was awaiting him at that airport, so he did not land and refuel the airplane. During approach to another airport, the airplane impacted a cornfield and the fuselage and wings sustained substantial damage. No fuel was found in the airplane; thus, the airplane experienced a total loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion.
