The aircraft continued upright for more than 1200 feet through a muddy field, at some point during the slide the nose and right landing gear collapsed, several prop strikes to the ground was noted in the path of the slide. The flap position at the accident scene was in the full up position and the right flaps was verified in the up position with very little damage. Engine controls had continuity to the engine. Flight controls to the right aileron, rudder and elevators all had continuity. Although the left wing was detached from the aircraft the control cable from the left aileron was still attached to the control column.
