Narrative:The certificated commercial pilot had landed on runway 28. He stated that the touchdown and the landing roll were uneventful, until the airplane's nose veered slightly to the right. He compensated by applying full left rudder, but the airplane suddenly ground looped to the right. During the ground loop the left main landing gear collapsed, and the left wing collided with the runway. The left wing and fuselage sustained substantial damage. Wind conditions at the time of the accident were reported to be from 190 degrees at 5 knots.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadvertent ground loop/swerve.
