Incident Overview
A pilot reported that the airplane was initially parked on a remote beach on an island. Noticing an approaching storm, the pilot decided to reposition the aircraft to a nearby logging road to avoid potential damage from the weather.
Sequence of Events
During the landing roll on the logging road, the right wing of the airplane struck a tree. The impact caused the airplane to turn sharply to the right. As the aircraft continued its turn, the left main landing gear struck a berm. The collision with the berm led to the collapse of the left main landing gear, which allowed the left wing to impact the ground.
Damage Assessment
The airplane sustained structural damage to both wings. Additionally, the left landing gear assembly and the propeller were damaged. The extent of damage to other components was not reported.
Pilot Actions
The pilot's decision to reposition the airplane was prompted by the approaching storm. The maneuver was intended to secure the aircraft away from the beach environment. However, the landing area on the logging road presented obstacles that were not anticipated.
Environmental Factors
The accident site was a remote beach on an island, with the repositioning target being a logging road. The presence of trees and a berm along the landing path contributed to the collision events.
