Read the full NTSB narrative

At the conclusion of the uneventful flight, the pilot approached to land in gusty wind conditions. As the airplane touched down during the landing, it began skidding across the runway to the left on the right main and nose landing gear. The pilot attempted to regain control of the airplane by reducing engine power and applying heaving braking, but the airplane departed the side of the runway. Before coming to a stop, the airplane rolled to the right, and the right wing contacted the ground, resulting in substantial damage to the wing. The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures of the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
