What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
After landing during the roll out, the private pilot lost control of the aircraft allowing it to veer off the gravel strip to the left subsequently striking a small tree with the left wing. The impact spun the aircraft to the left causing the right main gear to collapse allowing the right wing to contact the ground damaging the wing spar and twisting the vertical stabilizer causing substantial damage to the aircraft. There were no injuries to the pilot or the single passenger on board.
