The airplane was on a repositioning flight after an annual inspection. A witness, who was driving down a road, observed the airplane flying erratically toward him as if to land. The airplane then made a sharp turn toward a field next to the road. The airplane hit a fence and an outbuilding on a farm. The pilot received serious injuries and had no recollection of the accident. Witness observations and evidence indicated that the engine was producing power at the time of impact. No anomalies were noted with the airplane or engine during a postaccident examination.
