Read the full NTSB narrative
The student pilot preflighted the airplane, boarded, and started the engine. After completing the engine runup checks, he taxied onto the runway, and initiated the takeoff roll. As he applied full power, the airplane yawed left, departed the left side of the runway, and struck several trees before coming to a stop. The pilot did not experience any preimpact failures with the airplane, and stated that he just "lost control."
