I actually just went and looked at the accident...or at least as close as you can get without interfering.
They did clipped the tops out of several trees on the approach, and then flew over a house missing it by 40 feet or so.
The hill you see is another 100 yards beyond the house, but it rises up 50 feet up from the road and the house.
It looks like he was 20 feet low to clear the hill. You can see black impact area in the hill and most of the back half of the plane is either gone or rolled over to the over side. I suspect it was nose high, so the front broke off to where you see it now.
