Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot stated that she was unable to maintain proper alignment with the runway due to a crosswind. She attempted to abort the landing adding power and reducing the flaps. Aircraft control was lost. The airplane exited the runway, crossed a taxiway, and proceeded approximately 600 feet through a grassy area. The airplane then turned left where the left main landing gear and nose gear collapsed.
