Read the full NTSB narrative

The student pilot reported he was taking off in a 12 knot, quartering left headwind. He said that at 40 knots indicated airspeed, with full power applied and no aileron input, the airplane began to veer to the left. He applied right rudder, but the airplane continued to the left, veering off the runway onto grass, and collapsing the nose landing gear. Postaccident examination of the flight controls and brakes by an FAA airworthiness inspector revealed no evidence of preimpact failure or malfunction.
