What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(.4) The pilot made an approach and landing to a 4,094 feet long by 80 feet wide, asphalt runway. During the landing roll, the pilot applied light braking to slow for an upcoming taxiway. While braking, the aircraft drifted left of the runway centerline. The pilot then applied right rudder and right brake which, the pilot believed to be ineffective. The aircraft veered off the runway and collided with a taxiway marker, resulting in the collapse of the left main gear and substantial damage to the fuselage. A post-accident examination of the braking system revealed no malfunction or failure.(-23) on the approach to landing for runway 20 the pilot was high. The approach was continued and the aircraft touched down well past the halfway point of the runway. Inspection of the runway revealed that both main wheels had heavy braking applied as evidenced by distinct tire skid marks. The aircraft veered to the left and went off the runway striking a taxi light and taxi way sign. The impact with the concrete base for the sign caused substantial damage to the landing gear and aircraft.

THE AIRCRAFT VEERED OFF THE RUNWAY AND COLLIDED WITH A TAXIWAY MARKER, RESULTING IN THE COLLAPSE OF THE LEFT MAIN GEAR AND SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE FUSELAGE. A POST-ACCIDENT EXAMINATION OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM REVEALED NO MALFUNCTION OR FAILURE.(-23) ON THE APPROACH TO LANDING FOR RUNWAY 20 THE PILOT WAS HIGH. THE APPROACH WAS CONTINUED AND THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN WELL PAST THE HALFWAY POINT OF THE RUNWAY. INSPECTION OF THE RUNWAY REVEALED THAT BOTH MAIN WHEELS HAD HEAVY BRAKING APPLIED AS EVIDENCED BY DISTINCT TIRE SKID MARKS. THE AIRCRAFT VEERED TO THE LEFT AND WENT OFF THE RUNWAY STRIKING A TAXI LIGHT AND TAXI WAY SIGN. THE IMPACT WITH THE CONCRETE BASE FOR THE SIGN CAUSED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE LANDING GEAR AND AIRCRAFT.
