Event Overview
A pilot and a passenger were departing from a private airstrip when, during the takeoff roll, the airplane's left main tire encountered a rut. This caused the airplane to veer to the left. The left main tire subsequently entered an area of tall grass located along the left edge of the airstrip.
Sequence of Events
After entering the tall grass, the left wingtip struck a tree. The impact caused the airplane to pivot approximately 180 degrees to the left. During this pivot, the right main landing gear collapsed. The right wing and the right elevator then struck the ground.
Damage Sustained
In addition to the damage to the left wingtip and the collapsed right main landing gear, the airplane received damage to its tailwheel assembly, fuselage, and propeller.
