The aircraft lost lift through the bank and was oriented in a northwesterly direction when the right wingtip contacted the ground. The nose of the aircraft impacted the ground five yards north of the initial contact site and burst into flames. The aircraft continued to travel north for another twenty-five yards and came to rest nose high on a fence. The engine had separated from the airplane during the accident sequence.
