What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

As the aircraft exited the runway, the pilot applied full throttle and the aircraft became airborne but the pilot reports that the aircraft failed to climb away prior to contacting the ground a second time and came to a rest in a drainage ditch approximately 700 feet east of the runway and facing south. No injuries were sustained during this event and the aircraft received substantial damage.
