Incident Details
During the takeoff roll at a relatively high speed, the pilot-in-command rejected the takeoff and initiated emergency braking. This action was taken following an engine problem. The twin-engine aircraft then deviated to the left and veered off the runway.
Sequence of Events
After departing the paved surface, the aircraft contacted soft ground. The nose gear collapsed upon impact with the terrain, and the airplane came to rest in the bush. The rejection and subsequent excursion occurred during the takeoff roll.
Occupants and Injuries
All 20 occupants aboard were rescued. Among them, both pilots sustained slight injuries.
