It was reported by a witness that the aircraft bounced several times on landing and ran off the strip, collapsing the main gear. The accident was not reported by the pilot. The wreckage was removed from the accident site, and neither it nor the pilot could be located for some five months. The pilot stated that he had been taxiing the aircraft to keep it serviceable.
