Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot stated that he flew a straight-in approach, and touchdown was normal. Then, the airplane veered to the right, off the side of the runway, and into a ditch. Examination of the wreckage by a Federal Aviation Administration Inspector, and a local mechanic, did not reveal any pre-impact mechanical malfunctions. A Maryland State Police trooper observed skid marks, left on the runway by all three landing gears. According to the trooper, the main gear skid marks were oriented 20 degrees to the right of the runway centerline, before the nose gear touched down.
