What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Once over runway 32 for landing pilot realized he was too high and too fast. Pilot elected to land, was able to put the aircraft on the runway and began to apply brakes. Pilot knew he was going too fast and applied more left rudder thinking that he was applying more brake. Aircraft departed the runway and entered a ditch. Folded nose landing gear and left main landing gear and struck propeller causing sudden engine stoppage. After pilot exited the aircraft he "looked at the airport windsock and noticed that it was blowing from a southwest position which would make 14 the preferred runway."
