What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) After landing on runway 26, during post landing roll out, with all three wheels on the ground. The airplane a Cessna 195 started to drift to the left. The pilot privacy data omitted corrected by pushing right rudder pedal and in doing so he inadvertently pushed the top of the right rudder pedal which engaged the right brake. This caused the airplane to turn sharply 90 degrees to the right, which placed an excessive load on the left main landing gear causing it to buckle and tear away from the left side of the fuselage. The left wing impacted the ground and buckled at the flap hinge outboard bulkhead. The prop then struck the ground causing engine, sudden stoppage. The airplane came to rest on runway 26.
