Probable cause

The pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during the landing roll in gusting wind conditions.

NTSB narrative

The pilot reported that while on final approach a crosswind gust pushed the nose of the airplane to the left. The pilot corrected back to the runway centerline and after landing "...a wind gust turned the tail and accelerated a right turn or a ground loop. The left wing touched the ground and the left gear collapsed." The undercarriage of the airplane where the left main gear attaches to the fuselage sustained substantial damage.
