Analysis
Reportedly, the plt landed long. He then applied braking action & 1 wheel locked. At that point, the acft was still going too fast to stop on the remaining rwy & there was insufficient rwy to go around. The plt steered the acft off the end of the rwy & it went into a drainage ditch & was damaged.
