Read the full NTSB narrative

The airplane was substantially damaged when it ran off of the right side of runway 31 while landing and struck a pipe protruding from the ground. A weather report for an airport 20 miles and 022 degrees magnetic from the accident site reported wind from 050 degrees magnetic at 11 knots. The airport has an intersecting runway oriented on a 050/230 magnetic direction. Skid marks were found on the runway leading to the aircraft final resting place. After the accident, a hole was found in the right tire. No damage was noted to the wheel rim. No anomalies were found that could be associated with a preexisting condition.
