When the acft was aprx 2/3 the way down the rwy, the plt decided to abort the takeoff and attempted to stop on the remaining rwy. The acft was unable to stop prior to running off the rwy, across a road and colliding with a small tree. The manual flaps were extended throughout the landing and aborted takeoff.
