The airplane was on a left downwind leg for landing on runway 30 when the pilot noticed a strong 90 degree southwest crosswind. On final approach, the airplane was in "a serious side slip configuration (aileron hard left, right rudder)." The left wheel touched down. Just before the right wheel touched down, a strong wind gust from the southwest lifted the airplane back into the air, and the pilot decided to abort the landing. He added full power and lowered the nose since the stall warning was sounding. He felt the airplane touch down twice in dirt, and bounce twice. Thereafter, his only recollection of the accident was spinning around and coming to a halt in a ditch. The recorded winds at a location 6 nautical miles northwest of the accident site were from 230 degrees at 14 knots gusting to 18 knots.
Probable Cause: the pilot's inadequate compensation for the wind conditions which resulted in a loss of control during landing. A contributing factor was the gusty crosswind.
