From local accounts there were skidmarks at the north end of the strip indicating the driver was attempting to turn and drifted off the runway sideways. The car impacted the tree sideways. My brother who is an aerospace engineer at Lockheed Martin calculated the impact speed to be roughly 70 mph, with a vertical descent of 45 mph. I am familier with this airstrip because I relocated the taxiway lights when JT's house was built.
