Read the full NTSB narrative
During landing on runway 2, the airplane struck a "bump" in the runway, and then bounced to approximately 10 feet. The pilot then added power and flared for landing. During the second touchdown, the airplane bounced again, and then encountered a wind gust, which blew the airplane to the left side of the runway. The airplane's left landing gear came in contact with the grass off the left side of the runway, the pilot "lost control," and the airplane impacted a mound of dirt.
