Analysis

The pilot lost directional control while landing on an asphalt roadway near his residence. The nose wheel dug into adjacent soft terrain and the aircraft tipped over. The road was not in use by auto traffic because a bridge was out of service. It was considered to be a suitable landing site that had been used by other aircraft.
