Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot reported that the runway in use was runway 18 with the winds from 110 to 120 degrees at 15 to 20 knots. The pilot reported that he landed on runway 18, but was unable to keep the airplane on the runway. The airplane departed the right side of the runway and traveled about 600 feet before rolling into a drainage ditch. The airplane nosed over after the nose wheel dug into the soft ground. There were no indications of heavy braking on the runway or after the airplane left the runway. The inspection of the brakes revealed no abnormalities, nor were there any anomalies with the engine or flight controls.
