THE PILOT REPORTED THE AIRPLANE'S PROPELLER, PROPELLER FLANGE AND A PORTION OF THE CRANKSHAFT SEPARATED FROM THE AIRPLANE WHILE CRUISING AT AN ALTITUDE OF 6,500' MSL. HE SAID THE ONLY AVAILABLE LANDING SITE WAS A NARROW ROAD, AND THAT HE WAS FORCED BY SURROUNDING TERRAIN TO LAND UPHILL AND DOWNWIND. THE AIRPLANE LANDED HARD, WENT OFF THE ROAD AND INTO A DITCH. THE MISSING PROPELLER AND COMPONENTS WERE NOT RECOVERED.
Probable Cause: THE FRACTURE OF THE CRANKSHAFT RESULTING IN SEPARATION OF THE PROPELLER AND PROPELLER FLANGE IN-FLIGHT. A FACTOR ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACCIDENT WAS THE LACK OF SUITABLE TERRAIN FOR AN EMERGENCY LANDING.
