Crashed.
During a VFR flight at night without visual ground references, the aircraft descended to an altitude so low that it collided with forested terrain.
Contributing factors included:
* Departure under visibility conditions that did not permit VFR flight
* Low cloud base
* Inadequate altitude monitoring
* The pilot’s failure to discontinue the flight despite the prevailing weather conditions
Another possible contributing factor may have been a disrupted fuel supply.
