What happened
During a takeoff attempt at Ramona Airport, an aircraft experienced a loss of directional control while accelerating down the runway. The movement caused the plane to veer off the paved surface and come to a stop outside of the runway area.
There were zero fatalities and zero injuries reported among the occupants, as both members of the flight crew managed to exit the wreckage without harm. Although the crew escaped safely, the impact and excursion resulted in the aircraft being declared a total loss due to damage that exceeded repair capabilities.
Findings
Official investigations into the incident determined that the primary reason for the loss of control was a tire burst occurring during the takeoff roll.
