Probable cause
Pilot's failure to maintain clearance from a road sign during landing ground roll. A factor in the accident was the failure of the engine exhaust system which resulted in high engine oil temperature.
Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The acft engine exhaust system failed during cruise flt, which allowed exhaust gas onto the engine oil pan, causing a rapid rise in engine oil temperature. The pilot elected to make a precautionary ldg on a public road. The acft impacted a road sign during ground landing roll and the pilot lost control. The acft nosed down, struck the ground and cartwheeled.
