The NTSB's narrative final · quoted from the NTSB record
The pilot reported that, his airspeed was excessive during his approach to land, which resulted in a long landing. After touchdown, he was unable to stop the airplane prior to reaching the runway end. As the airplane overran the runway it impacted a log that had been placed there to prevent automotive traffic from entering the runway. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left horizontal stabilizer and fuselage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that could have precluded normal operation.
