The pilot and passenger reported that they were returning to the airport, at 2,500 feet mean sea level, when the aircraft's 'engine quit without any hesitation, just like turning off a light switch.' The pilot initiated a forced landing and turned towards a private airstrip located 2 miles west of their position. The pilot was unable to restart the engine, and the aircraft impacted trees approximately 1/4 mile east of the airstrip. Examination of the accident site by the FAA inspector revealed evidence of fuel spillage. The reason for the loss of engine power could not be determined.
Probable Cause: The loss of engine power for undetermined reasons. A factor was the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.
