An Elite Air Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300, performing flight ELZ300, suffered a runway temporary excursion due to a strong wind gust during takeoff from runway 36R at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS/KAUS), Austin, Texas.
ADS-B data suggest that the aircraft began veering to the left at a ground speed of about 97 knots. The takeoff was aborted as the aircraft veered to the right of the runway centerline before regaining directional control.
The aircraft vacated the runway and taxied back to the apron. Right main gear tires were damaged in the incident.
In addition to a temporary closure of the east runway, an Austin Fire Department truck (Engine 42) responding to this incident collided with a civilian vehicle on the entrance road, killing one passenger.
METAR:
Wind information during takeoff clearance was given as 260 degrees at 27 knots, gusting 42.
