Landing Attempt
While attempting to land, the pilot encountered a strong wind gust that turned the aircraft approximately 15 degrees to the right. In response, the pilot initiated a go-around. However, during the go-around, the pilot was unable to gain altitude or maintain directional control.
Collision and Damage
The aircraft collided with terrain and continued to slide forward. The impact caused all three landing gear to separate from the aircraft. Both wing tips were torn off, and the propeller struck the ground. The aircraft came to rest in an upright position, oriented about 120 degrees from the runway heading.
The reported winds at the time of the accident were from 210 degrees at a velocity of 18 knots, gusting to 23 knots. The pilot reported that no mechanical malfunction had occurred with the aircraft prior to the accident.
