Read the full NTSB narrative

THE PILOT INITIATED THE ILS APPROACH TO RUNWAY 05, WHICH WAS COVERED WITH ICE AND SNOW. HE STATED THAT 'EVERYTHING LOOKED GOOD TO ME AT TOUCHDOWN.' THE AIRPLANE VEERED TO THE LEFT. HE SAID THAT IT MAY HAVE 'YAWED FIRST THEN SLID NOT SURE...' HE TRIED TO STEER THE AIRPLANE BACK TO THE RUNWAY CENTERLINE, BUT HE WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE DIRECTION. THE AIRPLANE 'MADE A VERY SHARP LEFT TURN [AND] LEFT THE RUNWAY.' THE NOSE WHEEL COLLAPSED WHEN IT ENCOUNTERED SOFT TERRAIN. THE PILOT REPORTED THE WIND WAS FROM 060 DEGREES AT 10 KNOTS.
