Probable cause
The failure of the pilot to maintain directional control of the aircraft during the landing roll. A factor was the wet runway.
Quoted verbatim from the NTSB record. This site does not paraphrase or interpret it.
Read the full NTSB narrative
After touching down on the wet runway, the aircraft veered slightly to the right. During landing rollout the aircraft did not respond to left rudder or left wheel braking, but skid marks measuring 200 feet in length indicated the left brake was functioning. After applying heavy braking, the right wheel plowed into the ground causing the aircraft to nose over. A post-accident inspection of the airplane did not indicate a mechanical failure or malfunction.
