Shortly after touchdown, the aircraft began to yaw to the right. The pilot unsuccessfully attempted to arrest the yaw by using full left rudder and differential braking. As the aircraft approached a runway marker, the pilot applied heavy braking, raised the nose in order to clear the marker and shut the engine down. The aircraft cleared the marker but the nose wheel subsequently collided with a dip in the ground, causing the nose gear to collapse. The left tyre blew out simultaneously.
