The aircraft, a Piper PA-30 Twin Comanche, ZK-DOK, experienced a runway overrun upon landing at Taieri Aerodrome (NZTI), Mosgiel, Otago. The aircraft sustained substantial damage and the three passengers on board were not injured. According to the official NZ CAA report (see link #4):
"The aircraft was one of many joining at Taieri at the end of one of the legs of the New Zealand Air Safari 2013. The pilot held off landing as long as possible, as the aircraft ahead was slow to vacate the runway. The landing on the wet grass was too late and too fast for the aircraft to stop in the space remaining, and it ran through the fence at the end of the runway.
The aircraft fuselage and propellers were damaged in the collision with the fence. The pilot had allowed himself to focus on landing to prevent further circuit congestion, after the twin aircraft that was previously number one did a go-around, leaving him number two to a Cessna 172. He was further distracted when a ground person asked over the radio if he needed fuel."
