What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On may 28th around 1158 local time, privacy data omitted at U60 in Big Creek Idaho. On runway 19, pilot stated that he performed an upwind pass of the field then attempted to land on the downwind. Pilot performed a go-around on the first attempt. On the second attempt with a longer downwind leg and full flaps, the aircraft touched down too fast. The pilot pulled back at the controls, with engine at idle, to avoid vehicles parked at the end of the runway. The aircraft became airborne just before it struck a utv with the nose wheel/under belly and a sign post that struck the left wing. The aircraft descended rapidly back to the ground, collapsing the main landing gear, slid across the ground, spun 180°, and came to rest facing the opposite direction approximately 200 feet from the end of the runway. Pilot and passenger were assisted by local observers. An air ambulance helicopter was dispatched and transported both pilot and passenger to a nearby hospital. Pilot disclosed that he sustained minor injuries and the passenger was hospitalized with a broken foot and unspecified spinal injuries.
