Read the full NTSB narrative
While landing on runway 07, the airplane bounced twice, and the pilot added power to abort the landing. The airplane then drifted right, struck trees, and came to rest entangled within the trees. The reported wind, at an airport approximately 20 miles south of the accident site, was from 340 degrees at 6 knots.
