What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On landing rollout after the nose wheel touched down, the aircraft experienced a severe shimmy that continued until the nose gear collapsed. At that point the pilot lost directional control and the aircraft departed the runway to the left. The left wing struck the ground before the aircraft came to a full stop in the upright position.
