The aircraft was cruising at about 1800 feet above sea level, just below cloud, when it suffered a sudden and complete loss of engine power. At the time it was over terrain which was hilly and tree covered and the only other area available for a landing was covered with small rocks. The pilot completed the correct emergency procedures but the engine would not restart and a forced landing was attempted on a rough steeply sloping area. After touching down on the rocky surface the starboard tyre burst and the brake line was severed and the aircraft then veered to the right and struck a tree.
