Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot lost directional control of the conventional gear airplane during the landing roll. He reported that on touchdown the surface winds shifted 90 degrees to the runway, and that he was unable to maintain directional control. The reported surface winds showed that a right 40 degrees crosswind component at 13 knots existed at the time of the accident.
