Narrative:According to an airpark resident and pilot who landed on the same, single 2,280 foot sod runway about 20 minutes before the accident, thunderstorms were rapidly approaching the airport from the west. Light rain began falling and the wind shifted from south to north. The accident airplane was observed to enter a left base for runway 18 from overhead the airport and touch down about the mid point of the runway. The passenger stated that the pilot, himself, yelled to her to hold on, that they weren't going to get stopped. The airplane skidded off the end of the runway, through a chain link fence, and into a thicket of trees. The tree collision destroyed the right wing and the nose section, displacing the instrument panel rearward. Postcrash examination of the airplane's engines, engine controls, propellers, brake system, and flight control systems revealed no precrash failures or malfunctions.
Probable Cause: The pilot's excessive speed and extended touchdown point during landing resulting in an inability to stop the airplane within the length of the wet, grass runway, and the subsequent on-ground collision with the airport fence and trees.
