ACCORDING TO A PASSENGER, AFTER A LONG GROUND ROLL, THE ACFT LIFTED OFF AND THE PLT ATTEMPTED TO INCREASE AIRSPEED BY LOWERING THE PITCH ATTITUDE. AS THE ACFT APPROACHED THE END OF THE RWY AND TREES, THE STALL WARNING HORN SOUNDED. THE PLT AGAIN ATTEMPTED TO LEVEL OFF AND INCREASE AIRSPEED. THE ACFT BANKED TO THE RIGHT AND COLLIDED WITH TREES AS THE PLT ATTEMPTED TO LAND ON AN INTERSECTING RWY. A WITNESS ON THE APRT STATED THAT THE ACFT LIFTED OFF; HOWEVER, IT DID NOT APPEAR READY TO FLY AND VISUALLY MUSHED INTO THE AIR. THE ACFT BANKED TO THE RIGHT, CONTACTED SOME TREES AND TUMBLED TO THE GROUND. ONE WITNESS, AN AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER, STATED THE WINDS SHIFTED FROM OUT OF THE EAST JUST PRIOR TO THE TAKEOFF AND THE TAKEOFF WAS ATTEMPTED WITH A TAILWIND.
