On July 5, 2011, about 1049 Pacific daylight time, a Grumman AA-5, N1334R, collided with a tree and then terrain near Camas, Washington. The pilot/owner was operating the airplane under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91. The commercial pilot and one passenger sustained serious injuries; the airplane sustained substantial damage from impact forces.
