Analysis
The private plt had completed a landing from a business flt. On landing roll a strong wind gust from the left caused the aircraft to turn left. The plt added full pwr and the acft departed the rwy to the left. The acft was turned back to the right and crossed the rwy, departing the rwy to the right. The right main gear struck the edge of a concrete taxiway and was damaged. The acft then swerved to the right and the left MLG collapsed.
