While searching for an emergency locator transmitter (ELT) signal, the accident site was spotted by a Civil Air Patrol (CAP) airplane. An FAA inspector responded to the area of the accident and observed the airplane wreckage on a trailer. During a conversation with the inspector, the student pilot indicated that he was flying to an airstrip with a passenger to go to work. During the landing approach, the pilot encountered a strong crosswind from the left and the airplane collided with trees along the edge of the runway.
Probable Cause: A failure of the pilot to adequately compensate for crosswind conditions. A factor in the accident was a crosswind.
