Pilot's Report
The pilot stated that before the landing flare, the airplane drifted left of the runway centerline. Full control input could not overcome the crosswind, and the pilot decided to initiate a go-around. He glanced at the wind sock and estimated the crosswind to be over 20 knots.
The pilot reported that the aircraft bounced twice on the runway. He was approximately three-quarters of the way down the runway when he decided that he would not be able to clear a twenty-foot obstacle at the end of the runway. He then pulled all power and attempted to stop the airplane before the runway's end.
According to the pilot, the airplane overran the departure end of the runway and rolled into a ditch that was filled with brush and water.
Witness Account
A witness to the accident stated that the airplane landed approximately halfway down the runway. The witness estimated that tire skid marks began 60 to 70 feet from the departure end of the runway.
Aircraft and Operations
Further details about the aircraft, such as its type, registration, or number of engines, were not provided in the source. The time of day, weather characterization beyond the pilot's crosswind estimate, and any injuries or fatalities were not specified.
