Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot stated that after touching down on the runway, the airplane bounced and while airborne in a right wing low attitude, the airplane veered 20-30 degrees to the right. He added full power to go around, but the P-factor from the counterclockwise rotating engine continued the airplane veering to the right. He then applied forward elevator input, reduced power, touched down on the runway. After landing, he applied the brakes, but the airplane veered off the right side of the runway and traveled into a drainage ditch, causing the nose and left main landing gear wheels to separate.
