The pilot reported he received ATIS information, which was reporting winds from 170 at 11 knots and the active runways as 25R and 25L. The pilot asked the tower if there was going to be a runway change. Tower personnel informed him that no runway change was going to take place. On final approach, the pilot checked the windsock on the runway and it was sticking straight out, indicating 15 knots. The pilot made a standard crosswind landing and lost control during the rollout phase. The aircraft ground looped, and the main landing gear collapsed.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate compensation for the crosswind condition and his failure to maintain directional control during rollout.
