THE BEECH D35 WAS LANDING AT A PRIVATE AIRSTRIP FROM WHICH IT HAD DEPARTED FIFTEEN MINUTES EARLIER. THE FINAL APPROACH WAS TO THE SOUTH, INTO THE SUN. ON SHORT FINAL THE PILOT LOOKED DOWN TO VERIFY THAT THE GEAR WAS DOWN. HE LOOKED OUTSIDE AGAIN JUST IN TIME TO SEE A TRACTOR-TRAILER PRIOR TO IMPACT. THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR IMPACTED THE TOP RIGHT FRONT CORNER OF THE TRAILER. THE ACFT ROTATED APPROXIMATELY 70 DEGREES PRIOR TO IMPACT WITH THE GROUND. INVESTIGATION BY THE HIGHWAY PATROL REVEALED THAT VEHICLES TRAVELING IN A WESTERLY DIRECTION ON COUNTY ROAD 457 WERE HIDDEN BY TREES ON THE SIDE OF THE RAOD OPPOSITE THE AIRSTRIP. THE TRUCK DRIVER WAS NOT INJURED.
