Factual narrative
DURING LANDING INTO A SUN LOW ON THE HORIZON THE ACFT DRIFTED LEFT & TOUCHED DOWN SLIGHTLY OFF THE RWY. THE LEFT GEAR CAUGHT A CONSTRUCTION HOLE & SHEARED OFF. THE ACFT WENT OUT OF CONTROL & STRUCK A ROCK PILE SHEARING THE RIGHT GEAR OFF.THE RWY RECENTLY HAD A NEW RWY LIGHTING SYSTEM INSTALLED & THERE WERE MULTIPLE HAZARDS SUCH AS HOLES & ROCK PILES ADJACENT TO THE RWY.
