What was she trying to do?? - Crash at Northam, Western Australia

I'm at a loss to understand how she could achieve this result, after a failed takeoff?! Failure to remove control locks?

She would have taken off to the NE (there was a light NE wind blowing at the time of takeoff), and it appears she's done a 270 deg RH turn and come down between the two hangars at 90 deg to the runway, on the SW end of the airport.
