Narrative:
The pilot reported that the airplane touched down on the runway just before the intersection with the crossing runway. The airplane subsequently encountered a "significant dip and rise" in the pavement at the intersection, and the airplane became airborne again. The pilot reported that a crown to the pavement on the landing runway also tended to pull the airplane toward the left side of the runway. The left main landing gear wheel subsequently departed the left side of the runway pavement. During the pilot's attempt to return to the runway, the landing gear encountered the edge of the pavement, causing the left landing gear to collapse. The pilot reported that there were no failures or malfunctions with the airplane before the accident. A second pilot reported a runway excursion on landing after encountering the uneven pavement; however, his airplane was not damaged.

Probable Cause: The pilot's loss of directional control during landing after the airplane encountered uneven pavement at the intersection with a crossing runway.
