According to the pilot, she dropped her load of skydivers and was coming in for a landing. She "could see fog rolling in fast" and knew she "had to get...on the ground." She "landed at a higher speed which is normally fine but because of the runway conditions, which were slick, [she] had minimal braking and ran out of runway." The airplane overran the runway, struck a fence and came to rest in a ditch.
Probable Cause: The pilot's higher than normal airspeed on landing which resulted in a runway overrun. Contributing factors were the fog and the wet runway surface.
