Analysis

During the takeoff roll, the aircraft unexpectedly encountered a tailwind gust. This resulted in the aircraft veering toward the side of the runway, so the pilot aborted the takeoff. During the abort sequence, the pilot was unable to maintain directional control, and the aircraft departed the side of the runway and impacted a nearby large rock.
