Incident Summary
A cross-country pilot made a refueling stop at Delta, Utah. Transmitting on the UNICOM frequency received no reply, but noted a light wind favoring runways 30 and 34. The pilot elected to land on runway 30.
Sequence of Events
On final approach, the pilot looked for traffic on runway 34. While doing so, he failed to keep the aircraft aligned with runway 30. After touchdown, the aircraft departed the runway surface. The pilot initiated a go-around but could not gain sufficient speed due to brush and soft sand. Seeing a fence ahead, the pilot jumped the aircraft over it. When the aircraft settled on the opposite side of the fence, it touched down nosewheel first. The nose gear failed, and the aircraft nosed over.
Outcome
The nose gear failed and the aircraft nosed over. No further details are available about injuries or damage.
