What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) On Saturday 11/25/06 at 1303 MST, a Cessna 180-K, N180BM, piloted by privacy data omitted lost control while attempting to take off from rwy 34 at Bountiful Skypark, UT (btf) and crashed on the right side of the rwy, the aircraft never got airborne. The pilot ^privac^ and one passenger only suffered minor injury. The aircraft was considered destroyed. During take-off roll, at approx 500 feet, the aircraft started drifting to the left of center line, the pilot tried to make a correction to the right, this overcorrection caused the airplane to veer right, cross the center line again, and ground loop. The aircraft skidded sideways facing the opposite direction and left the rwy. The aircraft then crossed a drainage ditch, sheared off both gear, and then struck a chain link fence with the left wing. The pilot stated that the right brake had hung up which caused the accident. Evidence at the scene, the skid marks starting well left of center, and the veering to the right, showed the aircraft was out of control, the the take-off should have been aborted. The brakes on the aircraft appeared to be in good condition and no mechanical irregularities had been reported.
