A Cessna 172S Skyhawk SP overshot the runway at Bhiwani Airfield (VIBW) and struck a vehicle.
The instructor and student pilot sustained minor injuries and the aircraft received substantial damage.

Continuation of approach that was un-stabilized and delayed touchdown leading to unavailability of adequate distance to stop the aircraft within the available Runway Length.
The following factors were contributory to the accident:
- Obscured visibility of Red Flags placed to warn pilots to go-around in case of delay in touch down.
- Absence of any formal co-ordination mechanism to ensure that the construction activities do not obstruct the operational area.
