What happened
During a scheduled commuter flight at dusk, a Cessna (type not specified) was attempting to depart from a runway measuring 2500 feet in length and 30 feet in width. The runway surface was covered in snow.
As the aircraft performed its takeoff roll, it suddenly veered to the left toward the edge of the runway and an adjacent snow berm. The pilot attempted to abort the takeoff; however, the aircraft struck a berm, causing the plane to nose over. There were 5 occupants on board, consisting of one pilot and four passengers, and all were not injured.
The investigation
A post-accident inspection of the aircraft was conducted. The investigation revealed no mechanical anomalies present on the airplane prior to the impact.
