ACCORDING TO THE PLT, THE ACFT WAS USING A LONGER THAN NORMAL TAKEOFF ROLL WHILE TAKING OFF WITH THE LAST LOAD OF THE DAY. WHEN HE REALIZED IT WAS TOO LATE TO ABORT, HE DUMPED HIS LOAD & CONTINUED THE TAKEOFF. THE LANDING GEAR WENT THRU A FENCE AT THE END OF THE RWY. HOWEVER, THE ACFT CONTINUED FLYING IN GROUND EFFECT UNTIL IT CAME TO A DIRT BANK. THE MAIN GEAR HIT THE DIRT BANK & THE PLANE CRASHED. THE PLT BELIEVED HE HAD ENCOUNTERED A WIND-SHIFT FROM A SCATTERED RAIN SHOWER THAT COME OVER THE ARPT FROM THE NORTHEAST, ABOUT 5 MIN AFTER THE ACCIDENT.
