Cessna down New Mexico - 3 seriously injured - near El Paso TX

Looks like a P210 Silver Eagle inbound from Casa Grande, AZ. This report states all three "sustained life-threatening injuries," with one person in critical condition transported by ambulance and two in serious but stable condition flown out.


Reported weather looks fairly innocuous for the time of the accident. METAR KDNA 051655Z AUTO 18008KT 10SM CLR 24/11 A3004 RMK AO2

The amount of nose damage looks like a very sudden stop. Almost like a stall/spin type accident. Close to the airport
 
N54CC. Flight path looks fairly innocuous on ADS-B. Entered a right downwind. Last ping was 88 knots just prior to the numbers then disappears and never reappears, but I assume that could be due to lack of coverage down low at KDNA.

Straight crosswind at 8 knots from the left per the METAR. Density altitude was just under 6,000’, so reduce TAS by around 12% to get to CAS (wind notwithstanding).

The wreckage looks like it was located just south of the parallel taxiway, between that and the ramp (so left of the runway when facing the landing direction), parallel to maybe 2000’-2500’ or so down the runway from the approach end. Anybody know if this happened after a go-around?
