What happened
During taxi and takeoff operations on runway 9 right, the aircraft experienced an excursion from the runway. At the time of the event, weather conditions included rain, which caused the windows of the aircraft to fog over. While the pilot reported being able to see through the front windows, passengers stated that visibility through the front windows was obscured by the fogging.
During the takeoff roll, the aircraft drifted to the left and exited the runway surface. The aircraft then crossed a taxiway, where it collided with a taxiway identifier sign. This impact caused the nose gear to collapse and separate from the airframe. Following this, the aircraft impacted a ditch. The main landing gear also collapsed and separated, causing the aircraft to spin 90 degrees to the left. The aircraft eventually came to rest approximately 100 feet north of the runway.
Airport operations personnel inspected the runway shortly after the accident and observed no standing water. Additionally, no windshear alerts were recorded during the taxi or takeoff phases of the flight. Passengers also noted that the pilot was holding the control wheel full to the right during the takeoff process.
