Read the full NTSB narrative
The student pilot stated that he was performing a touch and go landing on runway 9. After the airplane touched down, the pilot applied full power for take-off. He noticed that the airplane was drifting towards the left, but was unable to maintain directional control. The student pilot pulled the power to idle to discontinue the take-off roll. The airplane continued off the runway surface, and collided with a ditch adjacent to the runway. Examination of the airplane revealed the right wing spar was bent 18 inches inboard from tip of the wing, the propeller was bent, the engine exhaust pipe was crushed, and the nose strut was bent 45 degrees to the right. Further inspection revealed that the firewall was buckled. The examination of the airplane failed to disclose a mechanical or a component failure.
