The airplane veered left off the runway and went down a grassy embankment where it came to rest. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left aileron and a left outboard wing spar. A postaccident examination of the airplane revealed that the retract bellcrank on the left landing gear lower fork assembly fractured. The pilot reported that the landing gear was serviced during an annual inspection and the accident flight was the third flight after the landing gear was serviced.
