Read the full NTSB narrative
The tailwheel airplane piloted by a certified flight instructor, sustained substantial damage on impact with terrain when the right main landing gear broke during the landing. The flight instructor stated, "After landing on the hard surface of runway 20, the airplane started a mild left turn towards the grass on the side of the runway. A bolt had broken on the right main gear attach bracket. The right gear folded under the airplane at about 15 mph. The gear broke and pushed the plane up in the air about 5 feet and then fell. The prop stuck in the ground. The wing bent outboard. No injuries."
