What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Aircraft landed safely and was decreasing ground speed to exit runway. Just before right hand turn to exit runway, left main gear collapsed causing the left propeller to contact the ground damaging the prop. Right main gear started to retract but did not complete the cycle and remained in the in transit position. Nose gear appeared to be down but was not in the down and locked position as evidenced by the nose gear linkage not engaging the down lock microswitch indicating the nose gear had started to retract. Upon inspecting the aircraft, the landing gear handle was in the up position.
