Analysis
A Piper PA-32 was just touching down on runway 22 when a Cessna 210 entered the runway, crossing from right to left on a heading of 110 degrees, taxiing for departure on runway 29. The propeller of the Cessna 210 cut through the right wing of the Piper PA-32 just outboard of the landing gear and it separated from the airplane. The Piper PA-32 continued with landing roll-out. The pilot of the Cessna 210 said he did not see the Piper PA-32 on short final, or hear his radio transmission when he called on final. The radio call was heard by the UNICOM operator at the airport.
