DURING TAKEOFF ROLL THE AIRCRAFT CATAPULATED SLIGHTLY AS IT CROSED OVER AN INTERSECTING R/W AND THE DOOR POPPED OPEN. THE PILOT ABORTED THE TAKEOFF AND SET THE PLANE BACK ONTO THE RUNWAY, BUT IT CONTINUED TO ROLL OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY INTO A FENCE AND HIT A PASSING AUTO WHICH IN TURN HIT A VAN. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST JUST SHORT OF A CONCRETE FENCE.
