With no aircraft damage or injuries, not an "accident." So not automatically.

If something in the initial interviews suggests there was a procedural problem (poor runway maintenance/plowing, poor ATC report of braking action, landed hot or long) or a mechanical failure (decel devices failed to deploy, nose-wheel steering, e.g.) - then maybe.

If, as some reports suggest, they had slowed to taxi speed but just skidded trying to make the turnoff - the FDR speed readout may be so low-resolution as to not offer much.
