Narrative:
During a touch and go landing with the student pilot on the controls, the left main landing gear tire burst. The airplane veered to the left, departed the runway, and entered into grass. The CFI said, "...we tried to turn to the right, but lost control of the aircraft and it went into the bushes." In addition, the CFI stated that the student pilot used "brakes" on landing, instead of "rudder only," and his feet were on the brakes when the airplane touched down.

Probable Cause: student pilot's improper use of the brakes at the landing touchdown which caused the left main landing gear tire to burst, resulting in the student and certified flight instructor pilots not being able to maintain control of the airplane, and the subsequent impact with bushes.
