The pilot landed on a dirt road and his employer, who owned a country home nearby, disembarked. The pilot was taking off when the left wing struck a tree, spinning the airplane 90 degrees to the left. The airplane then struck a rock that tore off the nose landing gear. Both wings and the wing spar were bent.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to maintain clearance from the tree during takeoff. A factor was the reduced light conditions.
