I don't see how a 14kts crosswind, in of itself, could cause an aircraft like a Commander to simply veer off the runway. Similarly it seems unlikely the mere act of veering off the runway would cause the nose wheel to collapse unless it hit something really hard...or indeed soft and dug into the ground.

Looks more like a bad landing or a pre-existing mechanical fault.
