Narrative:
Aircraft was a cessna 310/right departing port columbus, destined for lunkin, oh. I was the sole occupant on board, carrying 112 pounds of cargo and 760 pounds of fuel. I was cleared for takeoff from intersection B on runway 23. At approximately 85 KIAS I began to rotate. The nose lifted and yawed left. I closed the throttles and braked. The aircraft skidded, went off the end of the runway, through a fence and came to rest on a road. I started to secure the airplane, noticed a fuel leak and quickly evacuated the aircraft. The wind was calm at the time. Emergency crews arrived in 1-2 mins. The aborted takeoff would have been successful if I had opted to use a longer runway.

Title: ACFT EQUIP PROB CAUSES ATX PLT TO PERFORM AN ABORTED TKOF AFTER A YAW DEVELOPED DURING ROTATION.
Narrative: ACFT WAS A CESSNA 310/R DEPARTING PORT COLUMBUS, DESTINED FOR LUNKIN, OH. I WAS THE SOLE OCCUPANT ON BOARD, CARRYING 112 LBS OF CARGO AND 760 LBS OF FUEL. I WAS CLRED FOR TKOF FROM INTXN B ON RWY 23. AT APPROX 85 KIAS I BEGAN TO ROTATE. THE NOSE LIFTED AND YAWED L. I CLOSED THE THROTTLES AND BRAKED. THE ACFT SKIDDED, WENT OFF THE END OF THE RWY, THROUGH A FENCE AND CAME TO REST ON A ROAD. I STARTED TO SECURE THE AIRPLANE, NOTICED A FUEL LEAK AND QUICKLY EVACUATED THE ACFT. THE WIND WAS CALM AT THE TIME. EMER CREWS ARRIVED IN 1-2 MINS. THE ABORTED TKOF WOULD HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IF I HAD OPTED TO USE A LONGER RWY.
