The aircraft was lying upright in a field of tall weeds approximately 150 yards south of the end of the runway. Investigation of the aircraft revealed the landing gear was collapsed under the aircraft, the right wheel of the right landing gear was completely pushed through the right wing and the propeller was detached from the engine and lying in front of the aircraft one blade under the aircraft. Additionally the nose of the aircraft forward of the firewall was slumped dumped several degrees and the aircraft skin was wrinkled aft of the firewall indicating a possible internal structural failure of the aircraft structure.
