On April 15, 2015, about 1900 central daylight time, a Universal Stinson 108-1, N9799G, was substantially damaged when it contacted a vehicle during a precautionary landing on a road near Macon, Mississippi. Neither the private pilot onboard the airplane nor the driver of the vehicle were injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was filed for the personal flight, which was operated under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91.
The pilot reported that he was nearing his destination when the engine began to run rough, and he elected to perform a precautionary landing to a nearby road. The pilot stated that throughout the landing approach, he did not observe any traffic on the road; however, the airplane touched down and came to rest on top of a truck, resulting in substantial damage to the fuselage and right wing strut.
Further examination of the engine was scheduled for a later date.
