Narrative:

Taxiing off ramp, slowly due to icy conditions. As I started left turn onto taxiway B for taxi to departure runway, aircraft taxied over clear, black ice on taxiway. Aircraft lost traction and slid slowly off taxiway. Right propeller struck taxiway light. Shut down immediately. Later, when walking out to inspect aircraft, I slipped and fell on ice a few ft from aircraft.
