The commercial pilot was observed by a certified flight instructor (CFI) making a VFR approach for landing to a grass runway. The CFI stated the pilot appeared to have difficulty with the landing and initiated a go-around. The airplane was observed to make an immediate 90-degree left turn and reached about 50 to 100 feet agl. The left wing was observed to drop, the nose pitched down, and the airplane disappeared from view below the tree line colliding with the terrain.
