According to the pilot, upon arriving at the destination airport he established a final approach to land on runway 7. The pilot described the approach as fast and high, and the airplane touched down beyond the halfway point on the 3000-foot long runway. The pilot said after the airplane bounced at touchdown, it veered 55 feet off the left side of the runway and collided with a sand dune. The pilot did not report any mechanical malfunctions with the airplane. Examination of the airplane revealed left and right wing damage and fuselage damage in the area of the left wing root. The broken nose wheel was also torn from the airframe. The pilot stated that this accident could have been prevented if he had executed a go-around before the airplane touched down on the runway.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll. A factor was a go-around not performed.
