Narrative:
Shortly after takeoff, the engine began to run roughly. The pilot conducted a forced landing in a paddock in which he thought was suitable. Just prior to touchdown, the pilot noticed a ditch running across the paddock and then raised the nose of the aircraft in order to fly clear of the ditch, but the right wing dropped. The right main landing gear subsequently impacted the ground and separated from the aircraft. The aircraft then entered the ditch and was overturned. The pilot sustained minor injuries from the accident.
