Airspace Structure; Human Factors; Chart Or Publication
Prior to descent into a non-towered airport; TRACON advised of traffic at my 3:00 position before terminating radar service and flight following. After 2 to 3 minutes of searching for the traffic; I still could not see them; perhaps due to haze in the area. At this point my ADS-B was now showing the traffic at my altitude on an imminent converging collision course. Unable to see the traffic; and knowing that turning left or right would have kept me in this hazardous situation; I felt that my only safe option given my low wing aircraft was to initiate a rapid climb. However; being at 2;000 feet already had me at the floor of the Class B Airspace. This evasive maneuver caused me to enter Class Bravo Airspace without a Class B Clearance. As soon as I was able to determine that separation between myself and the other aircraft had been achieved; I immediately descended and exited the Class B and executed a safe landing shortly thereafter.
GA pilot descending into IWS non-towered airport reported they took evasive action to avoid traffic and climbed into Class B airspace without a clearance.
