I arrived at the accident site Saturday 10/12/2019 @ 1230 eastern time. I spoke with the land owner who was on site when the accident occurred. He stated the accident aircraft entered the field in a due east direction, he walked away from the field being sprayed due to concerns of drift. He was between two buildings and not able to see the aircraft when he heard a loud snap and got a quick look at the aircraft pass with the wings at a steep angle. A short period later, he heard the airplane crash in the edge of the field coming to rest in an open area adjacent to the field. The pilot was injured but conscience and with help from the witness was able to exit the aircraft. 911 was called a short time later ambulance, fire and law enforcement arrived on site. The pilot was transported to local hospital then transferred to a savannah ga. Hospital. The landowner stated the pilot had waited for fog to lift and dew to dry before spraying. He also stated that the sun was bright at the time of the accident.

The aircraft contacted powerlines standard height poles with 3 wires, on the edge of the field and traveled approximately 200 yards veering to the left striking several pieces of farm equipment and a tree with the right wing. The aircraft came to rest with fuselage inverted, wings, engine and propeller hub separated from aircraft. Full hopper and fuel tanks ruptured losing all contents.
