    Crashed.
    The accident occurred at Bourland Field (50F) Fort Worth, TX, United States while landing. The damage was substantial. During a crosswind landing the right wing suddenly rose up. The pilot reported that he was indicating 50 knots on roll out and he feared he was going to run off the runway and hit some trees. He reduced power and the airplane spun right 90 degrees and the left main landing gear collapsed. He reported winds from 140 to 220 degrees at 10 knots, gusting to 20 knots.
