NTSB Factual Report

The pilot attempted to land at an off airport site. After aborting the attempted landing, he said the airplane could not out climb the terrain, and he selected a secondary site for landing. The second site was rough, and the airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing and left lift strut during the landing roll. There were no mechanical problems with the airplane prior to the accident.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to go-around soon enough to preclude the necessity of a forced landing due to the airplane's inability to outclimb ascending terrain.
