Narrative:

I was flying for 2 hours and a few mins, like 10 mi south of cedar city airport, and I made the decision to continue to saint george. Because I was flying only 2 hours and like 10 mins and I thought that I can do it, but the engine stopped. I call the mayday, I saw a dirt road next to the freeway and I land on the road.
