Analysis
The plt stated he made a normal approach and touchdown. On roll-out, after the flaps were retracted, a pulling was noted to the left. The acft swerved off the left side of the rwy, collided with a snowbank, and flipped over. A witness located in the run-up area for rwy 23 observed the acft execute a go-around because it was high and fast. He stated it 'came in again high and fast' just prior to the accident. Exam of the brakes indicated no preimpact malfunctions/failures.
