Narrative:The aircraft experienced a sudden loss of engine power and the pilot initiated an off-field landing. During the landing roll-out, the aircraft's nose wheel collided with a rock causing the aircraft to nose over. The pilot unintentionally ran the left fuel tank dry. He selected the right fuel tank but, was unsuccessful in restarting the engine and elected to land in a nearby field. No evidence was found of a mechanical failure or malfunction.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate management of fuel which led to fuel starvation.. A related factor was the unsuitable terrain.
