Read the full NTSB narrative
During landing rollout the airplane departed off the side of the runway and was damaged. The pilot reported that the brakes had seized multiple times during the landing rollout. Post-accident examination of the wheel and brake assemblies revealed no anomalies that could have precluded the normal operation of the brake system. Examination of the tire treads on both main gear failed to reveal any flat spots in the tread pattern and no slippage was noted between the tires and the wheel assemblies.
