The pilot and passenger of a PA-28-140 were returning to Altona from Steinbach on a pleasure flight. On approach to the Altona Municipal airport the pilot noticed a vehicle parked on the runway with its lights flashing. The vehicle operator had been conducting a sweep of the runway for debris following a local car racing event and had inadvertently locked the keys in the truck while outside the vehicle, disabling it on the runway. The pilot overflew the airstrip and elected to land on an adjacent 2,000-foot grass strip. There was no wind, the outside temperature was high and the aircraft was landing into the setting sun. The aircraft touched down approximately 1/2 way down the strip at a high rate of speed. The pilot immediately applied brakes but was unable to stop the aircraft before it overran the end of the runway. The aircraft entered a drainage ditch causing damage to the nose gear, engine cowling and propeller. The pilot came forward into the instrument panel and was injured. The passenger was not injured. The local RCMP and ambulance services responded and transported the pilot and passenger to the hospital for observation.
