During takeoff the airplane's engine suddenly lost power. The pilot applied carburetor heat and switched fuel tanks; however, the engine did not restart. The pilot elected to conduct a forced landing along a road. During the forced landing, the airplane sustained structural damage. An examination of the airplane and engine was conducted; however, no abnormalities were found with either the airframe or engine that could account for the loss of engine power. While weather conditions for carburetor icing were noted as 'moderate or serious icing - cruise or descent power range†at the time of the accident, the investigation was unable to determine the cause of the power loss.
Probable Cause: The loss of engine power for undetermined reasons.
