THE PLT REPORTED THAT DURING AN INSTRUMENT APCH, HE DESCENDED TO THE MDA WITH THE RADAR ALTIMETER SET TO 415 FT. THE PASSENGER IN THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT, WHO WAS A PLT, ADVISED THAT HE SAW THE APCH LIGHTS & 1 OR 2 SECONDS LATER, THE RADAR ALTIMETER SOUNDED. THE PLT VISUALLY ACQUIRED THE APCH & RWY END LIGHTS & CONTINUED THE APCH. HE SAID THAT EVERYTHING LOOKED NORMAL, BUT SUDDENLY HE SAW A TREE AHEAD. THE PLT TRIED TO AVOID THE TREE, BUT THE ACFT STRUCK IT & CRASH LANDED ON A MUDDY SERVICE ROAD.
