According to the pilot, on the third attempted landing his speed was too fast, and his altitude was too high. He flared and touched down about 1/2 to 2/3 down the runway, too late for a go-around, and still moving fast. He said that he was "unable" to control the airplane's direction, overran the runway, at the departure end, and impacted with trees. An examination of the airplane after the accident did not reveal any discrepancies.
Probable Cause: the pilot's use of excessive airspeed and the improper touchdown point during the landing roll, which resulted in the airplane departing the runway, and impacting with trees.
