NTSB Factual Report

The pilot reported that after landing on runway 19, a crosswind caused the airplane to drift to the right. He applied left rudder to realign the aircraft with the runway centerline. The left turn accelerated into a ground loop. Subsequently the right main landing gear failed, the right wing tip contacted the runway, and the right wing spar was bent. The pilot did not report any preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll.
