What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The aircraft departed from T82, and at approximately 1920 experienced engine problems. The pilot elected to make a landing in a neighborhood. During rollout, the right wing struck a tree, causing the aircraft to spin clockwise. As a result, the aircraft tipped and impacted the ground on the left wing and one propeller blade before coming to rest. During the investigation, the fuel selector was found set to the right-wing tank. No fuel was visible through the right-wing fuel filler port, and only half a quart of fuel could be drained from the right-wing tank.
