My impression from the video is that the aircraft acquired a slight left drift after touchdown, followed by a drift right almost to the right runway edge, followed by the left ground-loop (a bit hard to be sure with snow-covered markings and bare strips). Appears to have collapsed at least the right main gear in the final sideways skid (judder-judder-judder-Bam!), causing the wing drop.

See pictures at AH: Accident: Envoy E145 at Chicago on Nov 11th 2019, runway excursion on landing

A tough day at the office - looking forward to more details. Shades of Continental 1404 in Denver (2009) - localized wind gust(s) outside the detected range?

I do not think this was an attempt to make an exit.
