During the ground loop the wing contacted the ground and the airplane nosed over and came to rest inverted. The rudder and vertical stabilizer sustained substantial damage. Post-accident examination of the airplane did not reveal any flight control anomalies. Wind recorded at the time of the accident reported variable wind at speeds between 4 and 8 knots.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control while landing during variable wind conditions.

Earlier today D5 deputies went to @air_colorado for a plane accident. Some hefty winds hit the small aircraft, pushed it off the runway and flipped it over. The sole occupant was ok. The @NTSB was notified, as per standard protocol. pic.twitter.com/usst5rfqGm
