Analysis
During the landing roll the acft veered off the rwy, travelled through a retention pond, nosed over & came to rest. According to a plt who landed shortly after the accident, he had his hands full landing on the same rwy due to a 'stiff crosswind'. The pilot of N5244N said there was no mechanical failure or malfunction. A weather observation taken at an arpt aprx 10 nmi northeast of the accident site aprx 31 minutes after the accident, indicated winds to be from 080 degrees at 13 knts with gusts to 21 knts. According to an off-duty police officer who responded to the scene, the plt smelled of alcohol & had difficulty understanding questions that were being asked. The plt left the scene immediately & was not located in time to request that he submit to toxicological testing.
