A piece of a propeller blade penetrated the fuselage. Perhaps the blade let go on the takeoff roll, and during the abort the aircraft was allowed to drift off the runway. Or the aircraft drifted off the runway, the propeller struck the ground when the landing gear collapsed, and a fragment of the propeller broke and penetrated the fuselage. I’m sure the proper authorities will issue a preliminary report soon.
