Read the full NTSB narrative
During the landing rollout, the right main landing gear collapsed and the airplane veered into a ditch. At the time of the accident, the recorded wind data indicated the airplane would have landed with a headwind at 7 knots. A postaccident examination of the fractured right main landing gear attachment fitting revealed fracture surfaces consistent with bending, followed by tearing deformation. The fractures occurred under bending overstress. There was no indication of any preexisting condition such as fatigue cracking or corrosion.
