NTSB Factual Report

The student pilot was on final approach when he used rudder to correct for drift. The airplane touched down while not aligned with the runway, struck the wing tip, and slid off of the edge of the runway. The nose wheel collapsed when it hit a shallow ditch and the airplane flipped on its back. There was substantial damage to both wings, engine mounts, vertical fin and rudder, but no injuries to the solo pilot.

NTSB Probable Cause

The student pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing.
