Narrative:
Beechcraft 58 Baron N886TS was involved in a runway excursion after landing at the New Bight Airport (MYCB), Cat Island, Bahamas.

However, upon touchdown and during rolling out, the left main gear collapsed, leading to a loss of directional control. As a result of the gear collapse a runway excursion occurred with the aircraft coming to rest in bushes approximately 94 ft. from the runway’s edge.
