The airplane exited the left side of the runway, and collided with trees and a ditch. Postcrash examination of the airplane revealed no discrepancies in the flight control, steering, or braking systems.
Probable Cause: The student pilot's failure to maintain directional control on takeoff, resulting in the airplane's excursion off the runway and collision with trees.
