What happened
Following a landing on runway 17, which measures 4,000 feet by 75 feet, the pilot began a left turn to exit the runway. During this maneuver, the pilot attempted to correct the course by swerving back toward the runway centerline. As the aircraft moved back toward the center, the right wing and right landing gear began to lift.
The pilot attempted to use the ailerons to lower the wing and landing gear; however, the left landing gear collapsed before control could be regained. The left wing subsequently struck the runway surface. While the aircraft initially continued down the runway, it then entered a slow turn to the right, eventually coming to a stop with the propeller positioned just over the right edge of the runway.
At the time the right wing lifted, the aircraft was traveling on the ground at a speed of approximately 15 to 20 miles per hour. During this period, a crosswind of 15 to 20 knots was prevailing from the right side of the runway.
