Analysis
The PIC made an uneventful cross country flt and touchdown to his destination arpt. During the rollout aft lndg, the PIC rptd a gust 90 degrees fm the left forced the acft to veer left and off the rwy. Tall grass was encountered aft the acft dptd the rwy which veered the acft even further to the left. The PIC rptd adding pwr to gain flying speed but bushes in the immediate area of attempted takeoff were encountered which collapsed the nose gear. Springfield fss rptd wind from 270 degrees at 10 knots. The pilot encountered this as a 90 degree crosswind. The acft has a demonstrated crosswind component of 15 knots. The PIC had 8 flt hours in this type acft prior to the accident and no known crosswind training or experience in this acft.
