According to the pilot, the airplane was on a stabilized approach to the runway with right crosswind corrections in place. Upon touchdown, he heard the "tires squealing," and the airplane veered to the left. The pilot applied power to abort the landing, but the airplane ran off the left side of the runway and hit an embankment. Examination of the airplane revealed substantial damage to the right wing spar, the right wing flap, and crushing of the engine firewall. Wheel brake continuity was verified and there were no marks on the runway that were consistent with a skidding tire. The pilot did not report any preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the airplane while landing, which resulted in a runway excursion.
