What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The pilot touched down normally and was lined up with the center line of the runway. The pilot put the engine in reverse to slow the aircraft down, the additional torque caused the nose of the aircraft to veer to the right approximately five degrees. The pilot then added left rudder and brake. Because the runway was ice covered this action did not work. The pilot applied power but too little too late. The pilot put the engine back into reverse when the right gear hit a chunk of ice causing the right gear to fail. The aircraft then veered ninety degrees to the right followed by the propeller contacting the snow bank.
