What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) The pilot stated that after landing he applied brakes. The left brake wasn't working well enough to stop or slow enough to turn. He thought it would slow down on its own before the end of runway. As he neared 1000 ft to end of runway he could tell it wasn't going to slow sufficiently so he added power momentarily to take off then he realied that he would not be able to obtain flying speed so he reduced power. He applied brakes again as able to slow down. He left the runway and went into a deep wide ditch and the aircraft flipped over on its back.
