NTSB Factual Report

The pilot reported that the airplane bounced several times during the landing. After the third bounce, he elected to abort the landing and applied full-throttle. The airplane then veered to the left, departed the left side of the runway, and struck an, unoccupied parked vehicle before stopping. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing and fuselage. The pilot stated that the airplane did not experience any mechanical malfunctions.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during an aborted landing, resulting in a runway excursion and collision with a vehicle.
