ADDED: Found another link...  But there does not appear to be any audio.  Tried some other YouTube videos just to confirm, and no issues on my end.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJmhuG5aRFM

Were there any injuries?

No injuries.  One person on board.  No audio at all with the video for some reason.

Looks like a combo of engine out and gear up…

on the V-tail…

Nice field for an off airport landing…

Best regards,

It was mentioned from another news crew on this that he elected to land gear up because of all the rain we have had here in the last few days he was not sure how dry the ground would be.  But they also said he was trying to make it to Spinks airport.  If you look at his flightaware track, I don't think that was the case unless he was very lost.  The red circle is Fort Worth Spinks Airport.
