The pilot reported that on approach he put the landing gear handle down and the left main landing gear down indicator light failed to illuminate. The pilot notified the air traffic control tower and executed a go-around. The pilot then raised the landing gear handle and lowered it again with the same result. During final approach the pilot reduced power on the engines to check the gear unsafe audible warning. The warning did not sound and the pilot elected to land the airplane with the unsafe gear indication. The pilot requested that tower controllers confirm that the landing gear was down. The controllers informed the pilot that the gear appeared to be down. On landing, the left main landing gear collapsed. The airplane departed the side of the runway and struck a taxiway sign, resulting in substantial damage.
Probable Cause: The failure of the left main landing gear down lock due to overload causing the main landing gear to collapse.
