Read the full NTSB narrative
The student pilot was making a crosswind landing with a flight instructor. On landing rollout, they both felt a 'push of air', and the airplane veered to the right. The flight instructor informed the student pilot that he had the flight controls. The airplane went off the right side of the runway and nosed over. Review of weather information for the airport at the time of the accident revealed no record of turbulence, downdrafts, gusts or windshear.
