Probable cause

The pilot’s failure to attain an appropriate touchdown point, which resulted in a runway overrun.

NTSB narrative

As the pilot approached the 1,997 ft-long, turf runway at the destination airport, and was turning from the base leg of the traffic pattern to the final approach, he heard another pilot report over the airport’s common traffic advisory frequency that they were on final approach to an intersecting runway. He immediately reduced his descent while he communicated with the other pilot before resuming the landing attempt. The resulting final approach was steeper than normal and the pilot touched down with insufficient remaining runway, which resulted in the airplane overrunning the runway and impacting trees. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the engine mount, left wing, and fuselage. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
