Circumstances:
After landing on runway 25 at Deer Lake Airport, the aircraft deviated to the right and veered off a snow covered runway. It lost its undercarriage and came to rest. Both pilots escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. It is believed that the crew encountered technical problems with the reverse system on the right engine.
