What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) On takeoff roll, pilot states there was a slight bump that felt like he ran over something on the left side of aircraft. Pilot continued takeoff and plane appeared to respond normally, climbed to 2200' and circled the Twin cities of Marinette and Menominee. All procedures from downwind to final were announced on UNICOM. Upon touchdown approximately 150' from the end of the runway an object was hit by the left main wheel and a bang was heard by the pilot. The plane pulled sharply to the left and the pilot counteracted with right rudder. Pilot applied full power intending to become airborne and plane veered to the right. The pilot states he felt the plane was not responding correctly. The plane's right wing struck the ground and the aircraft skidded partially sideways approximately 150' off the north end of runway 32 coming to rest facing southeast partially on the grass and partially on the n/s taxiway. Damage was substantial and there were no injuries. Upon inspection of the tire, puncture marks were found in the tire and tube consistent with the pilots description of events. The cause of the accident was determined to be mechanical.
