THE ACFT COLLIDED WITH TREES AND THE GROUND DURING TAKEOFF IN IMC WEATHER. THE VISIBILITY WAS ZERO DUE TO GROUND FOG. THERE WERE NO KNOWN WITNESSES TO THE ACCIDENT BUT THERE WAS EVIDENCE OF A COLLISION WITH A 60 FT HIGH TREE AT THE END OF THE 3000 FT RWY. IT WAS NOT DETERMINED WHETHER THE PLT USED ALL OF THE RWY. AFTER THE COLLISION WITH THE TREE THE ACFT HIT THE GROUND IN A LEFT BANK AND CARTWHEELED.
