Narrative:
On February 2, 2024, about 1042 central standard time, a Piper PA-24-260 airplane, N4284, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Cherokee, Oklahoma. The pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.

The pilot reported that the engine started running rough while in cruise flight at 2,500 feet mean sea level. His efforts to identify the nature of the problem and restore full engine power were not successful. The airport was covered in ground fog from the surface to about 200 feet above ground level which hindered the approach. The pilot inadvertently landed long and attempted to execute a go-around; however, the airplane did not have sufficient power to climb. The airplane went off the end of the runway, struck the airport perimeter fence, crossed a road, and impacted a second fence before coming to rest.

The airplane sustained damage to the fuselage and both wings during the impact sequence. A postrecovery engine examination is planned.
