Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot of the agricultural airplane reported that he was spraying a field adjacent to a set of hills, which required him to maneuver over the hills. While turning, he "misjudged the height of the hills at one point." He did not maintain terrain clearance, and the airplane impacted the ground.
