(02MO) on touch down he lost directional control of the a/c and veered off the runway to the right and started heading toward other parked a/c and people. He though that he would not have enough time to correct back to the runway, left, so he went north, right, and went into the trees. Damage to the a/c was substantial. The left gear collapsed, the left wing spar was damaged and the fuselage appeared to be twisted. The right wing had a small dent in the outboard leading edge.
