Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot landed long on the 2,300 foot runway and by the time he realized he did not have enough runway to stop, it was too late to perform a go-around. The airplane ran off the end of the runway, bounced on a highway, and collided with a telephone pole where the right wing separated. The airplane then turned to the right and came to rest in the parking lot of a restaurant.
