After an uneventful landing, the aircraft veered off the runway despite the pilot's attempts to maintain directional control. The left wheel entered soft dirt, causing the aircraft to veer further to the left, towards an earth bank. The pilot ground-looped the aircraft to avoid hitting the bank, resulting in substantial damage to the aircraft.
