Serious incident (runway excursion) at Linköping/Saab airport

A Saab 2000 aircraft, operated by Saab AB, taking off from Linköping, veered off the runway. The aircraft deviated to the left causing the left main landing gear to damage a runway edge light before the aircraft recovered back on to the runway. The takeoff was aborted and the aircraft was taxied back, after which a new takeoff was made. The aircraft then flew as planned to Gothenburg. After landing, it was noticed that a tire on the left main landning gear was damaged and therefore had to be replaced.
