Narrative:
Tried to make sharp turn on icy taxiway. Nosewheel slipped and locked at past 90 degrees. Stopped in place on taxiway intersection and called for company tug. Tug arrived, straightened aircraft out and resumed taxi. Should have negotiated a different route from ground control and not attempted the turn. P.south. During subsequent taxi, almost ready for takeoff, an unrelated hydraulic problem surfaced which led to cancellation of the flight.
