Due to the rain and clouds privacy data omitted was unable to dispense his load and had to return to his landing strip with the load. The return flight was through some rain but all else remained normal. Approach and landing were reported as slightly fast. After touchdown the aircraft reportedly hit a bump in the runway as the tail came down, the aircraft started to veer to the left, as brakes were applied directional control was lost and the aircraft slide off the runway to the left and collided with a drainage ditch, damaging all four wings.
