Narrative:The airplane was carrying supplies to a remote airstrip. On approximately the tenth landing of the day, the left main landing gear wheel separated from the gear leg. The airplane veered to the left, and the right main landing gear collapsed. The left main landing gear leg fractured through the upper wheel mounting-bolt holes. The landing strip is gravel covered and rough. The airplane sustained structural damage to the fuselage and right wing.
Probable Cause: The separation of the left main landing gear wheel from the gear leg, which resulted in a loss of directional control, and collapse of the right main landing gear. A factor contributing to the accident was the rough and uneven airstrip.
