Probable cause
The pilot-in-command's improper use of carburetor heat and overload of the nose gear assembly during the forced landing. Contributing factors were carburetor icing conditions, the ditch and fence.

Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot reported that while en route to Everett at 1,800 feet above sea level he noticed a degradation of engine RPM and attempted to correct for the condition without success. Application of carburetor heat merely aggravated the RPM loss and, unable to maintain altitude, he maneuvered the aircraft to a field for a forced landing. During the landing roll the aircraft impacted a barbed wire fence and then a ditch during which the nose gear assembly separated from the airframe. Post-crash examination revealed no evidence of airframe, fuel or engine malfunction. Estimated ambient air temperature (19 degrees C.) and dew point temperature (14 degrees C.) at the aircraft's cruise altitude were consistent with moderate carburetor icing conditions.
