Probable cause
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll, resulting in the aircraft departing the runway and impacting a Visual Approach Slope Indicator (VASI) standard. The VASI standard near the side of the runway was a factor.

Read the full NTSB narrative
About 100 feet into the landing roll of the intended full-stop landing, the aircraft veered sharply to the right, and the pilot tried to correct back to the left. As he did so, the aircraft departed the left side of the runway, and impacted the Visual Approach Slope Indicator (VASI) standard, and then slid into a ditch. The impact with the VASI resulted in substantial damage to the airframe. A post accident inspection of the aircraft did not reveal any anomalies in the flight controls, nose wheel steering linkage, or wheel braking system.
