Incident Details
The pilot of the aircraft obtained weather information before the flight, during the flight, and on final approach for the landing. When the airplane was cleared to land on runway 35, the tower controller reported the wind from 310 degrees at 25 knots. During the landing flare and touchdown, the controller stated that the wind was changing rapidly and was then from 270 degrees. The pilot reported that at touchdown, the crosswind overcame their ability to keep the aircraft straight. The left wing tip struck the runway, and the airplane exited the runway, coming to rest upright in the grass between the runway and a taxiway.
Weather Information
The pilot-rated passenger reported that the airplane was the second to land behind another aircraft that experienced a loss of 10 knots of airspeed at touchdown. Approximately one hour after the accident, the weather observation at the airport reported the wind from 300 degrees at 23 knots with gusts to 31 knots.
Sequence of Events
No further details were provided regarding the aircraft type, registration, operator, location, date, or occupants. The source did not specify any injuries or damage beyond the wing tip strike and runway excursion.
