AT THE END OF A NIGHT CROSS COUNTRY FLIGHT, THE PILOT ATTEMPTED AN INSTRUMENT APPROACH TO THE MONTGOMERY AIRPORT AFTER BEING ADVISED THE WEATHER WAS BELOW BASIC VFR MINIMUMS. HE WAS CLEARED FOR AN ILS APPROACH AND REPORTED THAT HE HAD THE RUNWAY IN SIGHT AT ABOUT 400 FT; HOWEVER, HE LOST SIGHT OF THE RUNWAY DUE TO FOG AS HE CONTINUED. JUST BEFORE THE PILOT INITIATED A MISSED APPROACH, HE WAS ADVISED THAT THE VISIBILITY HAD DROPPED TO 1/16 MILE. DURING THE MISSED APPROACH, THE AIRCRAFT COLLIDED WITH THE RUNWAY WHILE IT WAS STILL DESCENDING.
