Shortly after what was reported by the pilot as a normal landing the nose wheel fork failed. This allowed the nose gear strut to dig into the strip surface and resulted in the aircraft overturning. The nose wheel fork failure was found to have been caused by overload forces and there was no evidence of any pre-existing defect.
