On March 24, 1999, at 1700 eastern standard time, a Cessna 172M, N75BG, owned and piloted by a private pilot, sustained substantial damage during an overrun from Runway 25 (3,128 feet by 40 feet, dry/asphalt) at the New Hudson Airport, New Hudson, Michigan. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The personal flight was operating under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91 and was not operating on a flight plan. The pilot reported no injuries. The local flight departed New Hudson Airport 1645. According to the pilot's written statement, before the landing flare the airplane drifted left of the runway centerline. The pilot stated that, "Full control input could not overcome the crosswind and the pilot decided to initiate a go-around." The pilot reported that he glanced at the wind sock and estimated the crosswind to be approximately 20 knots. The pilot stated that the aircraft bounced twice and experienced moderate turbulence. The pilot reported that he was approximately 3/4 down the runway when he decided that he would not be able to clear the twenty foot obstacle at the end of the runway. The pilot stated that he, "Pulled all power and attempted to stop the aircraft prior to the end of the runway." According to the pilot, the aircraft overran the departure end of the runway and rolled into a square edged ditch that was filled with wooden brush and water. A witness to the accident stated that the airplane landed approximately halfway down the runway and estimated that there were tire skid marks starting 60 to 70 feet from the departure end of the runway.
