The pilot further reported that he attempted to abort the landing but was unsuccessful. The airplane continued and veered off the runway. During the runway excursion, the airplane nosed over. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings, fuselage, and empennage. The pilot reported no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
