ON A DARK NIGHT, THE PLT FAILED TO OBSERVE THAT THE TAXIWAY (ON WHICH HE WAS TAXIING) MADE A 90 DEG TURN TO CONNECT WITH THE BEGINNING OF THE RWY. WHERE THE TAXIWAY TURNED, THE ACFT CONTINUED STRAIGHT AHEAD & WENT INTO A 3 FT DEEP DITCH. THERE WERE NO TAXIWAY EDGE MARKINGS & THE CENTERLINE STRIPE WAS NOT OF A REFLECTIVE TYPE.
