Pilot loses control during crosswind landing gust (N4761Q)

What happened

The pilot-in-command reported that during a landing attempt involving crosswind conditions, a sudden gust of wind caused the airplane to lift off the ground shortly after initial touchdown. When the aircraft touched down again, it was in a crabbed attitude. The pilot was unable to maintain directional control, causing the left wingtip to strike the runway surface first, followed by the right wingtip. The impact forced the nose of the aircraft downward, resulting in a nose-over position. Despite the structural contact with the ground, the airplane remained on the runway surface and did not exit the paved area.

Findings

The primary factor contributing to the incident was the loss of control during the landing phase due to crosswind gusts. The pilot's inability to correct the crabbed attitude upon the second touchdown led to the asymmetric wingtip strikes and subsequent nose-over.
