The aircraft skidded off the runway
onto a busy highway, narrowly missing a gas station, while landing. Cleared
for the visual approach, the flight crew maintained 4,000 feet until on a
4 mile final. Once descent was initiated, the aircraft was too high and fast
for a safe landing, but the crew continued the approach and was unable to
stop on the runway.
