The airplane was in cruise flight at 4,500 feet mean sea level when the engine suddenly stopped producing power, and the propeller wind-milled. The pilot's attempts to restore engine power were unsuccessful. During approach to land in a pasture, the airplane struck treetops, touched down in tall weeds, and then rolled over rough, uneven ground and collided with a barbed-wire fence. Examination of the airplane revealed damage to the wings, landing gear, and fuselage. Fuel was observed in the wing tanks. An engine start was performed using the cockpit engine controls, and the engine was observed to start and idle. Engine run up procedures were performed with no abnormalities observed with the engine, engine controls, and accessories. No evidence of mechanical malfunction was observed.
Probable Cause: A loss of engine power (non-mechanical) for undetermined reasons. A factor was the collision with a fence during emergency landing.
