While landing on runway 32, as the right wheel touched down, and the left wheel began to settle, the airplane veered to the left. The pilot added full throttle and attempted to abort the landing, but the airplane continued into tall grass at the edge of the runway, and nosed over. The airplane came to rest inverted, in a ditch. The winds reported at an airport located approximately 12 miles northeast of the accident site reported winds from 310 degrees at 10 knots with 14 knots of gust. A wind shift was reported about 9 minutes prior to the accident.
