The pilot made a steeper than normal approach and levelled off too high. The aircraft bounced twice and veered left, skipped several times and was on the gravel edge of the strip by the time the pilot applied full power in an attempt to conduct a go-around. The aircraft lifted off the ground and flew along the alignment of a drainage ditch before it hit the edge of the ditch. The nose gear folded back and the aircraft came to an abrubt stop before tipping up on its nose and falling back into the ditch on its tailplane. The pilot was uninjured while the passenger sustained serious injuries from the incident.
