Incident Overview
An airplane experienced a landing gear collapse after veering off the runway and entering a broccoli field during an aborted landing attempt. The pilot had been applying left rudder correction to compensate for an existing crosswind. Upon initial touchdown, the airplane swerved to the left side of the runway.
Aborted Landing Sequence
After the swerve, the pilot added full power and initiated an aborted landing. However, realizing that a successful takeoff was not possible, the pilot closed the throttle and the airplane proceeded into a broccoli field. The soft, furrowed surface of the field caused the landing gear to collapse.
Outcome
The landing gear collapsed as a result of the encounter with the soft furrowed field. No further details about the aircraft or occupants are provided in the source.
Conclusion
The source does not specify a probable cause for the incident.
