Read the full NTSB narrative

During landing, the airplane touched down, bounced 'slightly', and the pilot added a 'small amount of power.' The aircraft touched down again approximately 100 feet further down the runway and started to drift to the left. The pilot 'applied full right rudder and right brake;' however, the airplane exited the left side of the runway, struck 'the only tree in that area' with the left wing, 'cart wheeled' and came to rest inverted.

Quoted verbatim from the NTSB record.
