Probable cause
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during landing.
NTSB analysis
The pilot reported that he was landing at his destination in the conventional gear airplane. The airplane touched down normally and approximately 300 feet into the landing roll, the airplane veered to the left, which resulted in a right main gear collapse under the fuselage. The right wing tip was also bent. The pilot indicated that there were no mechanical anomalies
