Looks quite a heavy impact, hope occupants escaped without injury. May have been a trip through the fence it seems.

Edit: precautionary trip to hospital, hopefully all ok.

As is often the case, the media have got it wrong. The accident site is 400 m to the side of the runway, nearly abeam the midpoint. It is conceivable that they were going around, or in old-money doing an "overshoot", and that is a term the media heard and misinterpreted. It would not be the first time the media have portrayed a go around as "overshooting the runway". I suspect that misinterpretation of the term is one reason the terminology has long since changed.

The aircraft is in a ditch on the A 429 well south of R/W 08/26; the only useable runway.
It is adjacent to the main road entrance, hangars & many parked airliners.
Difficult to see how it got there without hitting a building or a parked airliner.

I think that for the valuable parts, like the landing gear, dismantling is the more appropriate verb 
Compensating the little topic drift, albeit not that spectacular an info, anyone doubting whether the Airbus NLG was hit, here you can see chunks of the RH wingtip flying around and one getting lodged into the NLG.
The NLG-hit, certainly prevented the Piper from striking the fence and the parked cars.
