The student pilot was making the takeoff. The Instructor pilot said that just passing the crosswind runway intersection, mid-way down the runway, the airplane showed 40 knots indicated airspeed (KIAS). After passing the intersection, the airplane started to lift off, but returned to the grass. The airspeed indicator again read 40 KIAS. The instructor pilot told the student to abort the takeoff. The instructor pilot said that he took control of the airplane just as they passed the end of the runway. The airplane crossed one ditch and stopped when it hit a second ditch. Inspection of the airplane revealed no anomalies.
Probable Cause: the student pilot's delay in performing the abort, and the instructor pilot's failure to take control of the airplane before passing the end of the runway. A factor contributing to this accident was the ditch.
