What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23)On August 11, 2008 at approximately 1800 local time, the pilot-in-command of Cessna 210, N98KC, executed an emergency landing near green river in Auburn after the engine failed during flight. The forced landing took place on a soft farmer's field with irrigation pipes running perpendicular to the direction of the aircraft causing the nose landing gear to collapse and separate from the aircraft after hitting the second irrigation pipe, which eventually caused the aircraft to flip over. The aircraft was substantially damaged, but the passengers only sustained minor bruises.
