Narrative:

The first officer made a normal landing on 14R. At the proper time I assumed control of aircraft, slowing using brakes and fine pitch. I then exited runway at T5, using nose wheel steering. I called for after landing checklist. I then began to make a right turn on parallel taxiway. At this time I had no response from nose wheel steering. I then applied brakes with no response. I called for first officer to apply brakes and he also had no response. At this time I selected emergency brake accumulator and aircraft struck pole on left wing just outside engine. The aircraft came to reset in grass. The engines were shut down immediately and aircraft secured. The passenger were deplaned in an orderly fashion through main door. To the best of my knowledge there were no injuries.
