Incident at Camarillo today

Was flying the Maule with my brother to Camarillo. Got cleared to land 26, with about a quarter mile to the threshold and a few hundred feet my brother shouted "WTF"and pointed out opposing traffic just left of centerline steeply banked , at the same time a radio call saying " Berkut control and power problems" . I powered up for the go around and turned crosswind early, looking over my shoulder I seen the Berkut had slid right across the runway into the grass on the north , ATC advise that I head back to Mugu basically clearing the area , last I heard the guy had the canopy open and was waving so I assume he was alright .
