I WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE EXACT TOUCH-DOWN POINT. VIEWED RIGHT TIRE SKID MARK AS AIRCRAFT DEPARTED LEFT SIDE OF RUNWAY AT APPROXIMATELY A 15 DEGREE ANGLE. I FOUND NO INDICATION OF SKIDDING ON LEFT MAIN TIRE. THE AIRCRAFT DAMAGED A RUNWAY LIGHT WITH THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR. SHORTLY THERE AFTER THE PROP STRUCK THE GROUND AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME  THAT THE NOSE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED. THE AIRCRAFT PROCEEDED ACROSS A TAXI WAY AND THEN CAME TO A STOP IN THE GRASS FACING THE RUNWAY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO PILOT OR PASSENGERS OR ANY OTHER DAMAGE ASIDE FROM THE AIRCRAFT AND LANDING LIGHT.
