What happened

Despite the impact, all 36 occupants managed to evacuate the aircraft without injury. The incident resulted in the aircraft being declared a total loss due to damage sustained during the excursion.
Findings
The captain elected to terminate the takeoff sequence for reasons that remain undetermined.
The primary factor in the excursion was the inability to stop the aircraft before the end of the runway.
