According to the pilot, during the takeoff roll, the winds shifted to a point where the aircraft was encountering a direct crosswind of 10 to 20 knots. Upon encountering the crosswind, the aircraft drifted toward the edge of the runway, and the pilot elected to abort the takeoff. During the abort, the pilot was unable to maintain directional control, and the aircraft departed the runway. After departing the runway, the aircraft crossed a 100 foot grass area and impacted a stand of trees.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the aborted takeoff. Factors include a crosswind gust during the takeoff roll.
