THE PILOT LANDED BEYOND HIS INTENDED TOUCHDOWN POINT ON THE RUNWAY DUE TO EXCESSIVE AIRSPEED DURING THE APPROACH TO LANDING AND TOUCHDOWN. WHEN THE AIRCRAFT RAN OFF THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RUNWAY THE PILOT ELECTED TO PERFORM AN INTENTIONAL GROUND LOOP/SWERVE IN AN ATTEMPT TO AVOID A DITCH/CULVERT IN THE AIRCRAFT'S PATH. THE SIDE LOADS INCURRED DURING THIS MANEUVER CAUSED THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR TO COLLAPSE.
