The aircraft ground looped into a parked aircraft causing substantial damage. There were no injuries as a result of this accident. (.19) on July 6, 2002, about 2250, central daylight time, a Beech B50, N550G, registered to and operated by a private individual, as a title 14 CFR part 91 personal flight, crashed while landing at Gragg-Wade field, clanton, Alabama. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was filed. The private-rated pilot and one pilot-rated passenger received no injuries, and the airplane incurred substantial damage. The flight originated in pell city, Alabama, the same day, about 2130. The passenger stated that the pilot was performing a touch-and-go landing, and that the landing fla re/touchdown was uneventful. He said that during the takeoff roll the aircraft began to veer to the left, and the pilot appeared to be applying corrective rudder input trying to maintain control, but was unsuccessful. The passenger said that the pilot even asked him if he had his feet on the rudder, and he replied no, stating that he had his feet flat on the floor. The aircraft exited the runway to the left into the grass, and continued on, collided with some steel beams, which sheared off the landing gear, and damaged a wing, as well as the horizontal stabilizer.
