Narrative:
Flight abcd, pit-cae, operated by air carrier X do-328 propeller. During landing rollout, captain called for condition levers to minimum. By doing this, it activates the nosewheel steering. Almost immediately after the condition levers where in minimum, the plane started a hard right turn. In a matter of seconds, the aircraft came to a stop 90-120 degrees to the right of runway 29 centerline, damaging the left wingtip and all 6 blades of the left engine. Up to this point there were on indications or warning from the onboard system.
