Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot reported that during the takeoff roll, at 50 knots, he felt a quick shake/wiggle and the airplane turned hard left due to a left main landing gear tire failure. The pilot stated that he reduced engine power and applied right rudder pedal control input as much as possible, but the airplane continued to pull left. The airplane exited the left side of the runway and impacted trees. The airplane came to rest on its left side and a postcrash fire ensued that destroyed the airplane. The postcrash fire precluded any examination to determine the cause of the accident.
