According to the pilot, the left engine began to run rough shortly after departing runway 07. He noticed a loss in indicated fuel pressure and within a few moments, the left engine lost power and then quit. The pilot made several unsuccessful attempts to restart the engine. The pilot attempted an immediate left turn to return to the airport. The 270-degree left turn resulted in a loss of altitude and improper line-up with runway 25. The pilot completed a 90-degree right turn as the airplane crossed the airport's access road. The airplane continued to descend as it struck several trees and impacted terrain southwest of the airport. The impact separated both engines and the nose and main landing gear assemblies from the fuselage. Approximately 3 feet of the outboard section of each wing was crushed upwards and aft. According to an FAA inspector, the mixture was in the full rich position and the fuel boost pumps were off. Although the airplane's right wing was compromised, there was visible fuel in the left wing.
Probable Cause: the loss of engine power for undetermined reasons. A contributing factor was the lack of suitable terrain for a forced landing.
