Read the full NTSB narrative

THE PLT STATED THAT THE WIND CHANGED FROM A CROSSWIND TO A TAILWIND ON FINAL APCH. HE CONTINUED THE APCH, LANDED, & DURING THE LANDING ROLL, REALIZED 'THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY,' & THAT HE WOULD BE UNABLE TO STOP THE ACFT ON THE RWY. HE THEN MANEUVERED THE ACFT TOWARDS THE SIDE OF THE RWY, DURING WHICH, IT STRADDLED A DITCH CAUSING THE LEFT MAIN GEAR TO COLLAPSE. DUE TO THE DELAY IN REPORTING OF THIS ACCIDENT NO DETERMINATION COULD BE MADE AS TO THE MALFUNCTION OF THE BRAKES.
