Read the full NTSB narrative

THE PLT DECIDED TO DIVERT TO THE RAMPA VALLEY ARPT DUE TO WX. HE OVER FLEW THE ARPT 2 TIMES, THEN MADE AN APCH TO LAND, BUT THE ACFT WAS HIGH & FAST, SO HE MADE A GO-AROUND. HE STATED THAT HE MADE A NORMAL LANDING ON THE NEXT APCH. HOWEVER, HE WAS UNABLE TO GET SUFFICIENT BRAKING ACTION ON THE WET RWY. THE ACFT CONTINUED OFF THE DEPARTURE END & WENT INTO A DITCH. REPORTEDLY, THE PLT HAD LANDED ON THE ASPHALT RWY IMMEDIATELY AFTER RAIN HAD STOPPED FALLING. AFTER LANDING, THE PLT DECIDED NOT TO MAKE A GO-AROUND SINCE THERE WERE POWER LINES NEAR THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RWY.
