Analysis
When the acft was about 7 mi from its destination, the eng lost power & the plt elected to land on an access road. During the landing roll, the left wing hit the top of a fence & the acft veered left. The nosewheel then struck a curb & the acft nosed over. About 11 gal of fuel was remaining in the acft. No discrepancies were found that would have prevented operation of the eng.
