What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
While slowing to touchdown a quartering gust of wind made the aircraft unstable and dumped it to the left on its side. This resulted in a hard landing and tumble which broke the center support and caused the prop to strike the frame grinding off several inches of the propeller. The pilot received a dislocated shoulder and had to be transported to the hospital. The passenger had minor bumps and scratches and was treated and released.
