Accident Details
An aircraft collided with a truck located off the approach end of the runway while conducting a low, no flap approach. According to the pilot, a caution sign intended to warn vehicles using a road near the runway had been removed by vandals. The pilot reported that he did not see the truck because of his low approach path.

Following the collision with the truck, the pilot lost control of the aircraft. The aircraft then impacted the ground and slid approximately 60 feet before coming to rest about 40 feet short of the approach end of the runway.
Pilot Statement
The pilot attributed the failure to see the truck to the low approach angle and the absence of the caution sign, which had been removed by unauthorized individuals. No further details regarding the aircraft, occupants, or injuries were provided in the source.
