From the video it looked like they were holding it pretty straight on the runway (and I'm assuming on centerline) until the gear broke.
More likely to collapse than "snap".
Which gear failed? It looks like the right?
A right gear failure would not cause an excursion off the left side of the runway. Maybe the gear collapsed after they went into the weeds.
