NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

On November 2, 2014, about 1456 Pacific standard time, a Cessna T210M, N1593M, was substantially damaged during a forced landing following a loss of engine power near Jacksonville, Oregon. The airplane was registered to and operated by the pilot under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. The private pilot, sole occupant of the airplane, sustained minor injuries. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and an instrument flight rules flight plan was filed for the personal flight. The cross-country flight originated from Grants Pass, Oregon, with an intended destination of Long Beach, California. The pilot reported that during cruise flight at an altitude of about 12,000 feet mean sea level, the engine began to run rough and oil began covering the windshield. The pilot immediately diverted to Medford, Oregon and shortly after, the engine lost power. The pilot initiated a forced landing in an open field and during the landing roll, the right wing struck the ground and the airplane nosed over. Examination of the airplane by local law enforcement revealed that the right wing, at the flap aileron junction, was bent downward about 45 degrees. Oil was observed on the windshield and surrounding fuselage area. The wreckage was recovered to a secure location for further examination.
