The airplane's nose gear dug into a pasture and bent the firewall during a forced landing as a result of a loss of engine power during descent. Traffic on a nearby highway precluded landing thereon. A postaccident inspection by the pilot revealed that the throttle linkage disconnected, allowing the engine to go to idle power. This was confirmed by an FAA inspector.
Probable Cause: The throttle linkage disconnection resulting in the engine producing idle power. A factor was the lack of suitable terrain for a forced landing.
