The jet-engined Cessna 560 was landing at McClellan-Palomar
Airport on a flight from Hailey, Idaho, when it skidded off the
end of a runway at about 6:40 a.m., said Mike Fergus, a
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman in Seattle.

It hit a shack that held the airport's instrument landing system
equipment, Fergus said.

What is a Cessna 560? Is it a Cessna 560 Citation Ultra Encore* or a
Cessna 560 Citation V?

Cessna claims their Citation Encore + to have a Landing Distance of
2,770 ft.** And the length of Mc Clellan-Palomar Airport's Runway
6/24 is 4,897'.*** So other than the VOLUNTARY JET CURFEW 2200-0700,
one would expect the landing to have been uneventful.

The only thing remarkable about the weather at the time****:

Date Time T DP RH Wind Vis Pres Alt Sta QC
24 Jan 6:50 am 57 15 19 ENE 7 10.00 CLR 1013.3 29.93 29.586 OK

24 Jan 4:50 am 56 15 20 E 3 10.00 CLR 1012.2 29.90 29.556 OK

is the offshore wind direction. The news report does not include
information about the runway the flight was using, and the FAA
preliminary data hasn't been updated yet*****.

The 10News.com video report****** mentions that the crash occurred at
the west end of the runway. This report also mentions:

Witnesses said the plane appeared to be traveling faster than
normal as it approached the general aviation airport in Carlsbad

That is confirmed in the NEWS 8 report*******.
