Looked at the airplane today - details are airport observers', not the pilot's (back home and unavailable), so take with a grain of salt.

222MR made at least one aborted landing, then possibly a 2nd attempt, before landing.  The mechanic who is pulling the wings so it can be trailered home understood that there was a problem with the left brake, but did not know if the pilot knew that before touchdown.

Runway departure was out of view, so unknown if the airplane was tracking true when it departed the runway (end).  In any case, it didn't remain straight and has assorted damage to all surfaces, to include the MLG gear legs being broken.  Didn't see the nose... hmm.  One leading edge impact with a fence post makes me appreciate the strength of the structure!
