According to the pilot, while returning from a cross-country flight, he prepared to land on runway 23 at Union, South Carolina. As the airplane touched down on runway 23 the airplane bounced and veered to the right. The pilot applied the left brake and right engine power in an attempt to regain direction control of the airplane but was unsuccessful. Full power was added to abort the landing but the airplane did not regain flying speed. The pilot reduced the power in an attempt to regain control and stop the airplane. The airplane overran the departure end of the runway and collided with a berm. Examination of the airplane revealed the fuselage was buckled. The right main gear shared off, and the outboard section of the right wing. Post accident examination of the airplane revealed no mechanical or flight control malfunctions.
