What happened
A non-instrument rated private pilot was operating an aircraft toward his destination when he encountered reduced visibility caused by fog. Despite the conditions, the pilot determined there was sufficient visibility to attempt a landing on runway 3.
While executing the base leg of the approach, the pilot overshot the runway and attempted to correct the flight path. During the landing sequence, the left main landing gear made contact with a snowbank located at the edge of the runway. This impact pulled the aircraft into the ground, causing the left wing to be torn off from the airframe.
The pilot was not injured in the accident.
