I know you guys mentioned this accident before, here is the NTSB preliminary report. What could have caused a section of the wing to break apart? is that a case where the pilot was trying to control too much the plane? ie too much "hard hand" on the yoke? Is that a case where avoiding some storms is a must even in a Commander?

NTSB Identification: WPR10FA397
14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation
Accident occurred Wednesday, August 11, 2010 in Burns, OR
Aircraft: AERO COMMANDER 500-B, registration: N500FV
Injuries: 2 Fatal.
This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors. Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final report has been completed.
On August 11, 2010, about 0855 Pacific daylight time, an Aero Commander 500B, N500FV, impacted the terrain about 80 miles south of Burns, Oregon. The private pilot and his passenger were killed, and the airplane sustained substantial damage. The 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 visual flight rules (VFR) flight, which departed Redding Municipal Airport, Redding California, at an as of yet undetermined time, was en route to Pocatello, Idaho. The accident took place in a area where thunderstorms, lightning, and rain were reported. No flight plan had been filed, but the pilot was receiving radar flight following from Air Route Traffic Control (ARTC).
According to witnesses in the area, the airplane could be heard overhead, but could not be seen because of the solid overcast and the rain that was falling. The witnesses reported that the airplane sounded normal at first, but then the sounds coming from the engines became similar to those that they had heard from an "airplane doing aerobatics." Soon thereafter, the airplane was seen descending steeply out of the clouds with about one-third of the left wing missing. The airplane impacted the terrain in a near vertical attitude.
The portion of the left wing that had separated was located about one-half mile from the rest of the wreckage. The airplane has been recovered, and will undergo further inspection and analysis.
