The pilot in the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, on the downwind for runway 25R, "the tower told us that there was a crosswind." During the landing roll, the airplane veered to the left and exited the left side of the runway, and the right wing collided with the ground. When the airplane came to rest, the pilot exited the airplane and determined that there was "no wind."
The METAR at the accident site reported that, about the time of the accident, the wind was from 25° at 08kts.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
