While landing on a 3,500 foot long, 75 foot wide, asphalt runway, in night visual meteorological conditions, the airplane landed hard and bounced. The pilot stated, he could no longer see the runway lights and he initiated a go-around; however, he felt the airplane was not climbing, and elected to 'cut the power' and land. The airplane landed on the right side of the runway, it then veered off the right side of the runway, down a grass embankment, across a drainage ditch, and struck a large cement box. Examination of the airplane did not reveal any pre-impact abnormalities of the airframe or engine.
Probable Cause: The pilot's improper flare which resulted in a hard landing, and his failure to maintain directional control after touchdown.
