Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot stated that the tower controller had asked whether he could make the first turnoff and said that he had too much speed as he attempted to make the turn. He said the right wing lifted and he could not correct it before the left wingtip impacted the ground. The airplane swerved hard to the right, and the left landing gear collapsed, bending the left wing. He said that prior to the accident there were no mechanical failures or malfunctions to the airplane or any of its systems.
