THE PILOT REPORTED THAT AFTER LANDING AT OZARK, AR, NO FUEL WAS AVAILABLE. THEREFORE, HE PROCEEDED TO OBTAIN FUEL AT CLARKSVILLE, AR, A DISTANCE OF ABOUT 15 MILES. AFTER TAKEOFF, HE ENCOUNTERED MODERATE TURBULENCE, LEVELED AT ABOUT 600 FT, AND REDUCED POWER IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE BOUNCING. HE THEN PREOCCUPIED HIMSELF WITH LOCATING CLARKSVILLE AND THE AIRPORT ON THE SECTIONAL CHART. AS HE WAS DOING THIS, HE FELT THE AIRCRAFT SINK. FULL POWER WAS APPLIED, BUT THE SINK CONTINUED. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK TRANSMISSION LINES WHICH THE PILOT HAD NOT SEEN PRIOR TO IMPACT. AFTER HITTING THE LINES, A FORCED LANDING WAS MADE ON A HIGHWAY MEDIAN WHERE THE NOSE GEAR SHEARED OFF.
