What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

The aircraft turned left and the right landing gear collapsed. No fire, no injuries, and no ELT signal. Additional damage is rt. Wing forward spar bent 12" outboard of lift strut. Lower fuselage longeron below rt. Door. Float windshield brace bent. Pictures supplied from the saint Paul police department would indicate that the right landing gear did not collapse until the aircraft departed the runway.
