Analysis
While the pilot was landing with a right crosswind condition, the aircraft drifted off the left side of the runway and collided with a concrete stand pipe. This resulted in damage to the wing, wing strut and propeller. A go-around was attempted, but the damaged propeller failed to produce sufficient thrust. The aircraft came to rest in a field.
