The aircraft's starter motor had failed several days earlier and since then, the engine was started by hand-swinging the propeller. On this occasion, the pilot hand-swung the propeller and the engine accelerated to a high power setting, causing the aircraft to roll forward. The pilot attempted to board the aircraft but was unsuccessful and the aircraft collided with a motor vehicle before crossing a roadway, where it collided with an embankment and a tree.
