THE AIRCRAFT WAS OBSERVED TO FLY BETWEEN TWO PARKED CAMPERS IN A LEFT WING LOW ATTITUDE BEFORE HITTING A PINE TREE. THE AIRCRAFT THEN WENT INTO AN INVERTED POSITION BEFORE CONTACTING THE GROUND ABOUT 300 YARDS FROM THE CAMPERS. INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE PILOT HAD VISITED A DOCTOR ON THE DAY PREVIOUS TO THE ACCIDENT AND WAS ADVISED TO WEAR AN EYE PATCH AND CONSULT AN EYE DOCTOR.
