Read the full NTSB narrative

Shortly after takeoff, approximately 150 feet above ground level (agl), the engine lost power. The airplane impacted vegetation and came to rest in a field. The right wing was bent and the engine mount structure was partially separated from the firewall. Examination of the fuel system revealed no fuel in the fuel line from the engine driven fuel pump to the fuel metering valve, and from the metering valve to the fuel injection manifold. No anomalies were noted with the fuel pump. The reason for the loss of engine power could not be determined.
