NTSB Factual Report

The pilot reported that during the landing roll the airplane veered to the right and departed the runway. He stated that he over-corrected for the excursion and the airplane veered back to the left crossing the runway, and impacted a ditch. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings and the empennage.

The pilot reported that there were no pre-impact mechanical failures or malfunctions that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing, which resulted in a runway excursion and collision with terrain.
