Aircraft experienced engine failure on approach to RWY 15 FAWC apparently due to total electrical failure that resulted in ignitions system failure & fuel starvation due to all electrical systems not working [UL 390i). Successfully executed an emergency landing making a 110 degree turn to the only survivable field. The aircrafts main right gear bounced over a bush and lead to the left wing stricking the ground, this caused the the nose to dig in and came to stop in an uneven position and was flipped onto its back by strong winds.
