Narrative:

Selected gear down; 3 green lights illuminated. Touchdown was normal with 3 gear contacting ground. During rollout and while decelerating through approximately 40 mph; left gear collapsed. Aircraft slowly contacted ground with left wing and veered left; off runway. Aircraft came to rest pointed in approximately 180 degree direction from original rollout direction. Damage to aircraft was left propeller bent; dented and punctured holes to left flap and elevator; dented and punctured holes to left aileron; nosewheel bead was cracked; dented left gear door. As of the time of this writing about the incident I do not know which part of the left gear failed and; therefore; cannot give any corrective action or advice.
