What happened
During the landing roll onto a private airstrip on a heading of 195 degrees, the pilot encountered a left front quartering crosswind. The nose of the aircraft initially turned to the left, and despite the pilot taking corrective action, the direction could not be corrected.
In an attempt to straighten the aircraft with the runway and avoid further complications, the pilot applied full power in an effort to take off. However, as full power was applied, the nose of the aircraft swung to the far right and failed to respond to leftward inputs. The aircraft subsequently departed the right side of the runway and struck a fence. The aircraft came to rest at the edge of Highway 131.
At the time of the accident, the airstrip owner reported variable winds from the east at 10 mph, with gusts reaching 20 mph. During these gusts, the wind sock was observed turning more than 30 degrees. The impact resulted in structural damage to the airframe near the main landing gear attaching points. No injuries were reported.
