Because runway 32 was closed for paving, the pilot elected to land on Runway 25. At the time of his landing, the winds were gusting to over 20 knots, and blowing about 60 degrees from the runway heading. Just as the aircraft touched down, it encountered a strong gust and began drifting toward the side of the runway. As it departed the runway, the pilot initiated a go-around, but the aircraft continued to drift. As he attempted to gain altitude and bring the aircraft back toward the runway, it collided with a distance-remaining sign and slid to a stop.
Probable Cause: the pilot's inadequate compensation for wind conditions, and his failure to maintain proper alignment with the runway during the landing/go-around. Factors relating to the accident were: strong, gusty crosswinds, and the encounter with a runway distance-remaining marker.
