What happened
During a takeoff roll from a rough and uneven gravel and turf runway, the pilot encountered a grass clump and an uneven section of the runway surface. This portion of the terrain acted as a ramp, projecting the airplane into the air prematurely.
As the aircraft ascended, it veered to the left, causing the left wing to strike a tree. The pilot was unable to maintain control of the aircraft, resulting in a crash off the left side of the runway. There were no specific injury or fatality counts provided in the report.
Findings
The pilot noted that the accident could have been avoided if the airplane had been kept in a level attitude until sufficient airspeed was attained. The primary contributing factor identified was the condition of the runway surface.
