Probable cause

The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll, which resulted in a runway excursion and a nose over.

NTSB narrative

The pilot reported that during the landing roll the airplane veered to the right. He responded by applying left rudder, but the airplane departed the runway to the right, impacted a ditch, and nosed over. The left wing strut sustained substantial damage. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
