Prop blades

I'm more interested in why prop blades on the left engine survived while they are bent/sheared off (hard to tell) on the other side. Did this mean the left engine had stopped some time prior to impact? Or is this a product of the aircraft being mainly right wing down on the ground as it inverted and slid along the turf in a way that kept the left prop assembly clear of the ground for a longer period?
