Narrative:
The pilot said that during the landing roll, the airplane veered sharply to the left, and he applied hard right brake and right rudder to maintain the runway heading. The left main landing gear subsequently collapsed, and the airplane came to rest on the left edge of the runway. The pilot said he found heavy left main wheel skid marks on the runway, and a State of Alaska Department of Transportation worker located parts of the left brake assembly on the runway, 300 feet from the airplane. The left wing, left nacelle, and left main landing gear of the airplane were damaged in the accident.
