The photo show tail boom broken behind wings. Tail and wings and nose

appear intact. Speculations on how the pilot landed like this?

...."which was being towed approximately 100 to 200 feet in the air,
plummeted to the ground before skidding and overturning on to its roof."
looks like it flipped during the ground loop

Related by someone not at the scene who probably has little if no aviation
background. Wait for the accident report.
