Analysis
The acft collided with a car on the rwy during an aborted landing at a private airstrip. The pilot saw the auto as he turned base but believed the driver would cross and clear the rwy. Instead the driver went down the rwy in the directionof landing. When the pilot realized this he initiated an abort to go-around. In spite of the attempt to avoid the collision the acft struck the auto. The pilot was able to maintain flt and continue around the pattern and land. The acft propeller sliced several cuts in the roof of the station wagon and injured the 3 auto occupants. The major point of contact on the acft was the propeller blades. The acft overtook the car about half way down the runway.
