Read the full NTSB narrative

THE AIRCRAFT COLLIDED WITH A PARKED FUEL TRAILER AFTER THE ENGINE STARTED WHEN THE PILOT TURNED THE PROP TO LOOSEN UP THE ENGINE OIL. THE PILOT RECEIVED SERIOUS INJURIES WHEN HE WAS KNOCKED DOWN BY THE LEFT HORIZONTAL STABILIZER AS HE TRIED TO REENTER THE COCKPIT. THE THREE PASSENGERS IN THE AIRCRAFT RECEIVED MINOR OR NO INJURIES EVEN THOUGH THE PROP CUT A THREE FOOT GASH IN THE TRAILER AND SPILLED 860 GALLONS OF JET FUEL OVER THE AIRCRAFT BEFORE THEY EXITED IT. NO FIRE OCCURRED. THE PILOT STATED HE ATTEMPTED TO START THE ACFT IN THE NORMAL MANNER BUT THE BATTERY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH CHARGE TO ROTATE THE PROPELLER. THE PILOT GOT OUT OF THE AIRCRAFT TO HAND PROP THE ENGINE. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE DID NOT REMEMBER THE POSITION OF THE THROTTLE AND MIXTURE CONTROLS AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. THE MAGNETOS WERE ON.
