THE PILOT, WHO REPORTEDLY WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE 2200 X 90 FOOT SOD STRIP, ALLOWED THE AIRCRAFT TO DRIFT LEFT DURING THE LANDING ROLL WHERE THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR STRUCK THE END OF A CONCRETE CULVERT WHICH DID NOT EXTEND QUITE TO THE EXTREME EDGE OF THE RUNWAY. THE CULVERT WAS LOCATED ABOUT 500 FEET FROM THE APPROACH END OF THE RUNWAY. THE LEFT MAIN GEAR SEPARATED AND THE AIRCRAFT ROTATED TO THE LEFT AND SLID TO A STOP. THE PILOT REPORTED THE WIND WAS FROM 360 DEGREES AT FIVE KNOTS AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT.
