Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot stated that he executed a left downwind approach to runway 24 (3,000 feet in length and 75 feet in width), and the final leg had to be "higher than normal because of [the] height of trees and levee." A witness reported that the airplane touched down "more than halfway down the runway," and then exited the end of runway 24. Subsequently, the right main landing gear impacted a hole and separated and the right wing contacted the ground.
