Analysis
When both passengers became air sick the pilot decided to land on a dirt road. Upon touchdown, the pilot heard a loud pop and assumed that a tire had blown. Because of this, he used the brakes sparingly and could not stop the aircraft in time to avoid trees. An examination of the wreckage revealed that both tires were undamaged.
