A privately registered Cessna 170A was on a visual flight rules flight from the Swift Current Airport (CYYN), SK, to the High River/Foothills Regional Airport (CEN4), AB. On board was the pilot and 1 passenger. During the landing roll on Runway 25 at CEN4, an unexpected sudden crosswind from the south was encountered. The aircraft veered left and exited the runway (approximately 30-45 degrees of the runway heading) onto the grass. As the aircraft slowed, it
veered further left. As this happened, the right landing gear separated from the aircraft causing the right wing to strike the ground, bending the right wing strut and causing damage to the leading edge near the right wing cap.
