Acft landed long, ran across a road, and struck a bank of dirt. (.4)the pilot returned to the departure airport for a full stop landing. As she turned final for the landing, she realized that another airplane was behind herin the traffic pattern. At this point she elected to maintain a higher than normal airspeed and altitude on final. The pilot reported that the airplane touched down about 2000 ft. down the 4000 foot long runway. The airplane rolled off the departure end of the runway, crossed a two lane road, and collided with a ditch. The pilot also recalled that there was a slight cross wind during the landing, and as she applied brakes to stop the airplane, the brakes appeared to have been ineffective in slowing the airplane. No mechanical problems with the airplane were reported by the pilot. (-23) see narrative # ATL98LA104
