Narrative:
During the takeoff roll, the pilot's left foot became lodged between the left rudder pedal and the left heel brake. When the airplane started to veer to the left, the pilot attempted to correct with right rudder, but was unable to maintain directional control because of his lodged left foot. The aircraft was then substantially damaged when it departed the left side of the runway and struck a fence.

Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the take-off roll, when his foot became lodged between the rudder pedal and the heel brake. An additional factor is a fence near the area where he was taking off from.
