NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The airplane approached runway 33 with full flaps and the pilot stated he touched down "a little hard" and bounced, then touched down a second time. The left landing gear collapsed and the airplane veered off the left side of the runway and collided into small trees. Examination of the accident site revealed the airplane came to rest approximately 150 feet from where it touched down. Examination of the airplane revealed the left main landing gear collapsed, firewall bent, propeller damaged, cowling crushed and damage to the nose wheel strut and left wing.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot's inadequate recovery from a bounced landing, resulting in a hard landing, and the subsequent on ground collision with trees.
