What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) This FAR part 91, accident occurred at 1130 EST on July 19, 2005.

On downwind leg the pilot pulled on carburetor heat and pulled back power, five seconds later the engine died and could not be restarted. The aircraft was too FAR from the airport to glide, so the pilot put the aircraft down in a potato field, when the nose gear touched the ground it dug in, the aircraft flipped over and slid to a stop. The pilot/owner received a small cut on one leg and the other pilot was not injured. The aircraft received substantial damage to the forward fuselage, nose gear, both wings, rudder and elevator.
