The aircraft overran the departure end of the runway and struck an airport boundary fence and an automobile. In a written statement, the pilot reported the following, 'High approach to runway 27. Touched down approximately half way down the runway. Decision was made to go around. Added full power, mixture rich, propeller takeoff position. Proceeded with forced landing. Impacted fence at departure end of runway 27. Deplaned aircraft.' A video tape taken of the accident site revealed that there were black marks from the runway numbers of runway 05, across the north south road and towards the main wreckage. The threshold of runway 05 is displaced 315 feet. The throttle, mixture and propeller controls were in the forward position. The fence was wrapped around the aircraft's spinner and behind the propeller hub. The trailing edge flaps were in the 10-degree position. The engine was run on the airframe and no anomalies were noted.
