I might be mistaken here, but in a twin the aeroplane would be out of balance, and so it could be that he didn't have enough range with the fuel he had to continue with the one engine. Could be fuel, could be carb icing I suppose.

We weren't taught not to land on a road in an engine failure. In fact we were taught that in the envent of rough running, to track a road.
