The pilot stated that, as he approached the airport, he had difficulty recognizing the runways. When he realized runway 14 was in front of him, he elected to land on it. The airplane bounced three times and went off the end of the runway into a ditch. A witness stated the airplane came in fast and was about 60 feet above runway 14 when it crossed the intersection with runway 3. The witness estimated the airplane had one hundred yards of runway remaining when the pilot "forced it down." The pilot reported no mechanical malfunction with the airplane.
Probable Cause: The pilot's misjudgment of speed and distance, and his failure to perform a go-around which resulted in an overrun and on ground collision with terrain.
