The student pilot was flying a cross-country flight when he encountered haze and became disoriented. The pilot elected to divert "and land as soon as possible." The pilot then became concerned about flying into the mountains and elected to make a precautionary landing in a field. According to the pilot, he had to "push the nose down to take advantage of the full length of the strip." During the landing roll, the pilot realized that he "was running out of landing room," and he pulled the nose up and applied full power. The pilot added that he thought he had cleared the trees; however, he saw leaves "fly off the prop," and the airplane slowed down. Subsequently, the airplane "stalled left," impacted the ground, and came to rest upright in the field.
Probable Cause: the student pilot's delayed go-around, which resulted in the airplane impacting trees during the aborted landing.
