Probable cause
The pilot's misjudgment of altitude on final approach which resulted in an improper touchdown point and subsequent runway overrun. A factor was sunglare.

Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot reported that on approach to the 1,800-foot-long runway 25, she determined she was high and completed a slip to lose altitude. She had "full sun in the face" and had difficulty seeing the runway. After touchdown, the pilot discovered that she had "only a few hundred feet" of runway remaining. Although she applied full brakes, the airplane went off the end of the asphalt into a grass overrun. The left brake "locked up" and the airplane veered to the right and impacted a barbed wire fence. The nose landing gear collapsed, and the cowling, propeller, and right wing were damaged.
