Event Narrative
A pilot reported that during landing on Runway 10, a strong gust of wind from the southeast caught the aircraft just at touchdown. The gust caused the left main landing gear to contact a soft shoulder that sloped away from the pavement. This contact pulled the aircraft off the runway surface.
The pilot corrected the heading and paralleled the runway. However, during the rollout, the left main gear contacted the raised lip of a crossing taxiway and subsequently collapsed.
