I think this is the accident you are referring to (taken from the COPA website history of all Cirrus accidents and CAPS saves).

1999/03/23
N115CD
SR20(P)

Experimental test-flight accident, not included in Cirrus production fatal accidents counts, occurred during pre-production flight testing when aileron jammed. SR20 prototype was not equipped with a CAPS parachute. Test pilot Scott Anderson is memorialized by the ANDOE waypoint for the outer marker on the ILS runway 27 approach to Duluth.
As you can see, it was actually a pre-production aircraft on which an aileron jammed. No less tragic for all that.
