Read the full NTSB narrative
The airplane nosed over after veering off the runway during landing. The pilot flew a normal landing pattern and approach. As the airplane touched down, it was going too fast, and bounced into the air. After it touched down again, the airplane veered off the runway, encountered some vegetation, and nosed over. The pilot stated that the weather was not a factor, and the accident was strictly pilot error. She also stated that the airplane and engine had no mechanical failures or malfunctions during the flight.
