According to the pilot, while returning from a cross-country flight, he established an approach to runway 4 at Goose Creek Airport for a full-stop landing. During the landing roll, the airplane veered off the right side of runway 4 and collided with a berm. The pilot did not report any mechanical or flight control malfunctions prior to the accident. Examination of the airplane revealed that the airplane came to rest approximately 1800 feet from the approach end of runway 4. The right stabilizer was broken off from the empennage. The right wing tip was buckled, and the nose wheel was buckled under the fuselage.
