Probable cause
The pilot failed to maintain directional control during landing. Contributing to the accident were the crosswinds and the rough terrain near the runway.
NTSB narrative
The commercial pilot stated that, on landing, he overflew the airport and, based on his observations, he anticipated ground turbulence. During the landing roll he encountered a gust of wind and lost control of the airplane. The plane departed the runway and fell off a 2-foot drop. Examination of the airplane revealed the left wing spar and left elevator were bent.
