Read the full NTSB narrative

WHILE ON A PERSONAL FLT AFTER THE PLT LOWERED THE LANDING GEAR FOR LANDING, THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR DID NOT EXTEND. THE PLT CONTINUED THE APCH, & AFTER TOUCHDOWN, THE ACFT VEERED OFF THE RWY, COLLIDED WITH TREES, THEN CAME TO REST. ACCORDING TO FAA PERSONNEL THE LT MAIN LNDG GEAR DID NOT EXTEND POSSIBLY DUE TO A FROZEN UPLOCK ROLLER. AS A RESULT AFTER THE PLT LOWERED THE LNDG GEAR, THE PUSH-PULL ROD FAILED. ACCORDING TO BEECH ACFT PERSONNEL, THE PUSH-PULL ROD COULD FAIL IF THE UPLOCK ROLLER FAILED. ACCORDING TO THE OWNER THE ACFT & ENG LOGBOOKS COULD NOT BE LOCATED.
