The airplane was substantially damaged during an overrun while landing. The pilot reported that during the landing approach he was too high and too fast. He stated that the airplane went off of the runway, across an adjacent road, and through a fence prior to coming to a stop near a storage barn.
The pilot's failure to maintain a proper glidepath during the landing approach, and his excessive airspeed during the landing which resulted in the overrun. A factor was the fence that the airplane impacted.
