The student sport pilot lost directional control during landing rollout on runway 18. The experimental airplane veered off the runway and came to rest in a dry wash river bed with a bent fuselage. The pilot's son reported that he was waiting for his father to arrive at the airport, and he witnessed his father's approach to the runway. The son reported that the approach appeared normal. The son stated that he believed his father lost control of the airplane during landing. Runway 18 is 45 feet wide and 2,950 feet long. The airport's owner stated that the accident airplane appeared to have touched down on the center of the runway, about 500 feet upwind of the threshold. Thereafter, the airplane veered left and exited the left side of the runway. At the time, a light breeze was blowing from the east about 15 miles per hour.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate compensation for the crosswind condition and his failure to maintain directional airplane control during landing rollout.
