NTSB Factual Report

According to the student pilot, during the takeoff roll the airplane began to veer to the left after approximately 225 feet. The student pilot applied right rudder and reduced power in an attempt to regain control of the airplane. The airplane continued off of the runway and collided with a pole, resulting in substantial damage to the left wing. The pilot did not report any mechanical anomalies that would have precluded normal operation prior to the accident.

NTSB Probable Cause

The student pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the takeoff roll, which resulted in a collision with an obstacle.
