Probable cause

The pilot's failure to maintain directional control while landing with a crosswind.

NTSB narrative

The airplane departed off the runway edge while landing with a prevailing crosswind. The pilot then taxied the airplane through rocks at high speed, where the propeller struck the ground/rocks. The pilot then proceeded to taxi through a drainage ditch where the propeller struck the ground/ditch multiple times while exiting the ditch. The pilot's airman medical certificate was expired at the time of the incident. Postaccident inspection of the airplane revealed no anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
