On May 19, 2017, about 1230 Pacific daylight time, a Cessna 182P, N7352S, collided with terrain during a forced landing near Anderson, California. The private pilot, the sole occupant, received minor injuries. The airplane was substantially damaged. The airplane was registered to and operated by the pilot as a 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the flight that departed from Stockton Metropolitan Airport (SCK), Stockton, California, about 1130. No flight plan had been filed. The flight was destined for Redding Municipal Airport (RDD), Redding, California.
The pilot reported that he had fueled the airplane before departing from SCK, and had about 35 gallons of fuel on board. About 29 miles from RDD, he obtained weather information and started a slow descent just past Red Bluff, California. About 2,000 feet mean sea level (msl), the engine sputtered and lost power. The pilot checked that the fuel selector was selected to both fuel tanks, and checked the magnetos, before looking for a suitable place to land. The airplane touched down next to a road, collided with a gully, and nosed over coming to rest inverted.
The airplane was recovered for further examination.
