Read the full NTSB narrative

During the takeoff roll, the pilot allowed the aircraft to come near the left edge of the 75-foot wide runway. Although he initially reduced power, he reapplied the power and attempted to continue the takeoff. During his attempts to bring the aircraft back near the centerline, he lost control of the aircraft, which departed the right side of the runway and impacted a ditch.
