After landing and during rollout, the right main landing gear strut separated from its trunnion. As a result, a runway excursion occurred. The pilot stated he executed emergency procedures, shutting down both engines, fuel and electrical systems. The aircraft veered to the right and came to rest in bushes 101 ft. from the side of the runway. Both pilots subsequently evacuated the aircraft, uninjured.
During the onsite investigation, the right wheel assembly (still attached to strut) was discovered on the runway 451 ft. from the point where the aircraft came to rest.
