The pilot stated that, during the takeoff roll, after he released the brakes and applied full power, the airplane began to veer left. The pilot applied right rudder and right brake in an effort to correct the veer, but the airplane continued to veer left. The airplane then struck a runway edge light and departed the runway into the snow-covered median between the runway and an adjacent taxiway, which resulted in substantial damage to the right wing. A postaccident examination revealed no evidence of any preaccident mechanical anomalies.
Probable Cause: The pilot’s loss of directional control during takeoff, which resulted in a runway excursion.
