The NTSB's narrative final · quoted from the NTSB record
The pilot of the multi-engine airplane was landing and reported that upon touchdown, the airplane veered right towards the grass off the side of the runway. The pilot’s attempts to apply braking were ineffective, and the airplane impacted a taxiway sign before coming to rest adjacent to the runway. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the nose landing gear bulkhead and the fuselage structure during the accident sequence. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

About this page
Everything above comes from the NTSB's public accident database: the narrative, probable cause and findings are the NTSB's own words, and the coded tables behind its report (pilot, aircraft, flight, weather, injuries, sequence of events) are written out in plain English. Pilots' ages, home towns and medical details are left out on purpose. The docket at the NTSB holds the report as a PDF and the investigation's photographs and documents. This site never names pilots, passengers or anyone else involved. A preliminary report describes what is known soon after the event and can change; the final report, with the probable cause, usually follows one to two years later and this page is refreshed when it does. Case number ERA26LA053.
