What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot had trouble finding airport. When the pilot saw the airport the pilot commenced with a landing at a higher than normal airspeed. Pilot slipped the aircraft to bleed off speed and landed 1/2 to 3/4 of the way down the runway. A go around was not performed because the pilot thought the aircraft would contact trees near the end of the runway. The aircraft was steered across grass and onto a road to avoid going over a steep cliff. The aircraft came to rest on a road with a collapsed right landing gear, bent propeller, bent fire wall brace and the right wing tip under a guard rail.
