A PIPER PA-32 WAS JUST TOUCHING DOWN ON RUNWAY 22 WHEN A CESSNA 210 ENTERED THE RUNWAY, CROSSING FROM RIGHT TO LEFT ON A HEADING OF 110 DEGREES, TAXIING FOR DEPARTURE ON RUNWAY 29. THE PROPELLER OF THE CESSNA 210 CUT THROUGH THE RIGHT WING OF THE PIPER PA-32 JUST OUTBOARD OF THE LANDING GEAR AND IT SEPARATED FROM THE AIRPLANE. THE PIPER PA-32 CONTINUED WITH LANDING ROLL-OUT. THE PILOT OF THE CESSNA 210 SAID HE DID NOT SEE THE PIPER PA-32 ON SHORT FINAL, OR HEAR HIS RADIO TRANSMISSION WHEN HE CALLED ON FINAL. THE RADIO CALL WAS HEARD BY THE UNICOM OPERATOR AT THE AIRPORT.
