On July 8, 2023, at about 1433 local time, a Piper PA-22-160 Tri-Pacer, N9507D, sustained substantial damage when it was involved in an accident in Coquille Bay, Oregon. The sole pilot onboard received serious injuries. The local flight originated from Bandon State Airport (S05), Oregon.
The pilot of the airplane reported that, after completing a preflight inspection of the airplane he departed for a local flight. While enroute, at about 1500 above ground level (agl), the right tank ran out of fuel and the “engine cut out.” As he was switching tanks, the airplane impacted terrain and nosed over. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings and forward fuselage.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation
Probable Cause: The pilot's improper fuel management, which resulted in fuel starvation, a total loss of engine power, and impact with terrain.
