Read the full NTSB narrative

THE PLT STATED THAT HE SENSED A LOSS OF PWR ON ONE ENG AFTER TAKEOFF, JUST PRIOR TO GEAR RETRACTION. HE ELECTED TO REMOVE ALL PWR AND LAND STRAIGHT AHEAD ON THE REMAINING RWY. THE ACFT WENT OFF THE END OF THE RWY AND ENTERED A WET GRASS AREA. THE ACFT COULD NOT BE STOPPED PRIOR TO THE LEFT WING COLLIDING WITH A TREE. THE PLT STATED THAT HE WAS UNCERTAIN WHICH ENG HAD LOST PWR. NO REASON FOR THE PWR LOSS COULD BE DETERMINED.
