I believe it was a relatively new member at the club. He was a home owner, traveling with 2 friends. His wife did not fly with him. They may have been just flying in for the day. The owner was a physician and one of the passengers a physician as well.

He landed hot and could not get the plane on the ground, forced it down with such force that he broke off the nose wheel pants. This may have been a hard landing instead but his momentum would suggest that he was way too fast. He then clipped the bank of the runway on the left side and attempted to go round. At this point he lost total control of the plane and slammed into the Cirrus and the 421. His plane ended up as ash. Probably all the resin from the fiberglass. The 421 was still recognizable. There was a Pilatus close by that became scorched and the windows distorted. Clearly he will need some intense scrutiny and replacement of windows before he flies pressurized again.
