Probable cause

The pilot’s unstabilized approach and subsequent failure to attain the proper touchdown point, which resulted in a runway overrun.

NTSB narrative

The pilot reported that, during the landing, he was "going…[too] fast," overran the runway, and impacted trees. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings. The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation.
