The airplane continued on runway heading for about 1/4 mile, and then began a slight left turn. The airplane appeared to slow, lose altitude, and stall. An additional witness located near the airport observed the airplane flying at a low altitude with its wings rocking. The airplane impacted terrain in an open field on a heading of about 340°. The terrain was flat, rocky, and heavily populated with sage brush. The airplane came to rest about 90 ft from the initial point of impact.
