The private certificated pilot was landing a tailwheel-equipped airplane. During the landing roll, the passenger's feet became entangled in the rudder pedals. The airplane departed the left side of the runway, went into a ditch, and nosed over. The airplane received damage to the propeller, the vertical stabilizer, and the left wing lift strut. The wind was calm.
Probable Cause: A failure of the pilot to maintain directional control of the airplane. Factors in the accident were the passenger's inadvertent interference with the controls, and a ditch along the runway.
