Incident Overview
A student pilot was conducting a departure when the incident occurred. The pilot estimated that a left crosswind was present at 8 to 10 miles per hour.
Takeoff and Abnormal Event
During the takeoff roll, at an airspeed of approximately 55 miles per hour, the pilot began to raise the nose of the aircraft. At that moment, a loud popping noise was heard. Following the noise, the right wing dropped and the airplane made a hard left turn, deviating about 30 degrees from the runway heading.
Aircraft Attitude and Pilot Input
As the airplane turned left, the left main wheel lifted off the ground. The student pilot then reduced engine power by pulling the throttle. The aircraft continued to roll on its two main wheels.
Collision
The airplane continued on two wheels and eventually collided with a dirt berm. No other details about the berm or subsequent events are provided in the source.
Pilot Report
The student pilot reported the estimated crosswind and the sequence of events. The source does not specify the aircraft type, registration, date, operator, location, or any injuries or fatalities.
