The pilot stated that during a touch-and-go landing, the aircraft started to veer toward the left side of the runway. He attempted to correct the situation by using right rudder and brake, but the aircraft continued off the runway and into an area of grass. Subsequently, the nose and right main gear collapsed. A post-crash exam revealed the left brake was locked and the wheel assembly would not turn. The NTSB determined the probable cause of the crash to be locking of the left brake which resulted in a ground swerve and loss of control during the landing roll.
