Read the full NTSB narrative
When the airplane touched down, it jerked hard to the left, continued off the left side of the runway into the grass, and nosed over. A single black skid mark was observed on the runway. The left main wheel could not be turned by hand. Examination revealed the piston for the left brake assembly was partially extended and could not be pushed in by hand. The base of the exposed area of the piston was shiny around its circumference, and the upper circumference of the exposed area was rust-colored. The top portion of the left brake assembly and the upper portion of the left piston face were rust-colored with rough, dark brown debris adhered to both surfaces. Maintenance records revealed the airplane had accumulated less than 20 hours on the tachometer in the past three years.
