The pilot reported that during the landing roll a strong gust of wind caused the airplane to veer to the right. The pilot's efforts to correct the veer were unsuccessful, and the airplane exited the right side of the runway. The airplane impacted a ditch, which resulted in substantial damage to the nose gear, the lower fuselage, empennage, and right wing. There were no preaccident anomalies with the airplane.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll in gusting wind conditions, which resulted in a runway excursion.
