Probable cause

The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll, which resulted in a runway excursion and impact with terrain.

NTSB narrative

During the landing roll in calm winds, the airplane veered to the right after the pilot depressed the brakes. The airplane subsequently departed the right side of the runway into an area of dirt and rocks. A postaccident examination of the airplane revealed that the firewall had sustained substantial damage. The pilot reported no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
