Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot stated that after touchdown, about 200 yards into the landing roll, the airplane sharply veered to the left. He applied right rudder and left engine power but the airplane rolled off the runway onto grass, then came to rest with the right main landing gear separated and the nose and left main landing gears collapsed. Postaccident examination of the brakes, tires, and nose landing gear centering mechanism revealed no evidence of preimpact failure or malfunction. Additionally, marks on the runway revealed that the airplane touched down with the longitudinal axis of the airplane not aligned with the runway.
