Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll, resulting in the left main landing gear collapse and substantial damage to the left wing strut attachment points.

Full Narrative

According to the pilot of the tailwheel-equipped airplane, the airplane veered to the left during the landing roll, and he over corrected by applying excessive right break.
