During cruise, the airplane lost total engine power and collided with a tree during the emergency landing. The pilot departed earlier that day with full fuel. After a series of stops, the pilot was going to make an unscheduled stop to have breakfast and refuel. Suddently, the engine sputtered and then regained normal rpm. The engine instruments were indicating normal operations. Shortly thereafter, the engine completely quit and the pilot made a forced landing. During the landing sequence, the left wing collided with a tree. The pilot felt the engine stopped due fuel exhaustion.
Probable Cause: the pilot's inadequate inflight planning/decision, which resulted in fuel exhaustion and loss of engine power due to an inadequate fuel supply.
