Attempts to restart the engine were unsuccessful and a forced landing was made on a golf course where the aircraft collided with trees. Postcrash examination showed the left magneto would not rotate, the left crankshaft idler gear and crankshaft gear had teeth broken in overload, and the crankshaft gear had come loose. Examination of the left magneto showed the rotating magnet had a defect which caused it to make contact with the magneto case. The exact defect was not determine. The magneto had accumulated 2.3 flight hours since overhaul.
