Read the full NTSB narrative
During landing in a crosswind, the pilot lost directional control and subsequently collided with the dirt at the runway edge. The landing gear and wings were damaged while attempting to execute a go-around. According to the pilot, the crosswind gust was about 20 knots and when he lost directional control, he applied full power. Unable to regain flying speed, the airplane hit the dirt in a nose down position.
