Probable cause

THE FAILURE OF THE LANDING GEAR DOWNLOCK MECHANISM TO ENGAGE DUE TO UNDETERMINED REASONS.

Quoted verbatim from the NTSB record. This site does not paraphrase or interpret it.

Read the full NTSB narrative

THE PILOT STATED THAT HE VERIFIED THAT THE LANDING GEAR WAS DOWN AND LOCKED DURING THE APPROACH TO LANDING BY OBSERVING THE COCKPIT LIGHT. DURING TOUCHDOWN, THE MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED. AN EXAMINATION OF THE WRECKAGE REVEALED THAT THE NOSE LANDING GEAR WAS IN THE DOWN AND LOCKED POSITION, AND THE MAIN LANDING GEAR WERE NOT. THE LANDING GEAR WAS FUNCTIONALLY TESTED AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND NO PRE-IMPACT ABNORMALITIES WERE FOUND WHICH WOULD HAVE PRECLUDED A SUCCESSFUL LANDING GEAR DOWN LOCK ENGAGEMENT WITH THE ASSOCIATED COCKPIT LIGHT INDICATION.
