Accident Piper PA-28-161 Warrior III N9855S,

This accident on was on a 15000 hour training Warrior with no apparent previous spar corrosion, fractures or other preconditions that I can see. It looks like a plain old over-stressed situation similar to what might occur in a thunderstorm. Pictures would have been nice. I don't think we see many of these.
