Factual narrative

WHILE TAXIING TO THE RUNWAY, THE RIGHT MAIN AND NOSE GEAR TRAVELED OFF OF THE TAXIWAY. THE PLT ADDED POWER TO THE RIGHT ENGINE AND APPLIED LEFT BRAKE, HOWEVER, THE PLT STATED THAT WHEN POWER WAS ADDED, THE GROUND SPEED ALSO INCREASED. THE ACFT TRAVELED OFF THE TAXIWAY AND COLLIDED WITH A DITCH. THERE WERE NO MECHANICAL FAILURES OR MALFUNCTIONS REPORTED. THE TAXIWAY WAS REPORTED TO BE IN POOR CONDITION.
