Narrative:AS THE PLT COMPLETED HIS LANDING, HE LET THE ACFT ROLL-OUT TO THE INTERSECTION OF RWYS 32 & 23 WHERE HE INTENDED TO TURN OFF THE ACTIVE RWY. HE REPORTED THAT WHEN HE CAME TO THE INTERSECTION, THE RIGHT GEAR 'COLLAPSED' (RETRACTED) & THE ACFT SKIDDED TO THE RIGHT. HE STATED THAT THE ACFT CAME TO A STOP IN THE INTERSECTION, THEN THE LEFT GEAR ALSO 'COLLAPSED.' LATER, THE ACFT WAS PUT ON JACKS & THE LANDING GEAR WAS PUMPED DOWN. AN EXAM REVEALED NO EVIDENCE OF A MECHANICAL PROBLEM, EXCEPT SAND WAS FOUND IN THE HINGE AREA OF THE LANDING GEAR.
