Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot stated that, during the landing, the airplane made an uncommanded right turn. The pilot was unable to regain control of the airplane, and it departed the right side of the runway and collided with a taxiway sign. No evidence of a locked wheel was found on either the runway surface or the tire. No preimpact malfunctions or failures were found that would have precluded normal operation.
