While landing on the 25-foot-wide runway, the airplane drifted to the right of the runway centerline. The pilot increased engine power in an attempt to abort the landing, but the airplane continued to the right and departed the runway. The right wing contacted the ground and the main landing gear collapsed, resulting in substantial damage to the right wing. The pilot stated that there were no mechanical malfunctions or anomalies that would have precluded normal operation of the airplane and that better piloting and a wider runway could have prevented the accident.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll.
