Narrative:
Upon landing the aircraft there was a nose gear collapse; I maintained centerline on the runway until coming to a significant slow speed at which time I gave the plane left rudder & took it off the runway in order to clear the runway in case of other landing aircraft to keep from having another incident. I then evacuated the airplane and called the police; the airport manager and the FAA.
