Read the full NTSB narrative

The student pilot had completed several touch and go landings, and was in the process of making a full stop landing when the accident occurred. As the student pilot retracted the wing flaps, during landing roll out, the airplane veered off the left side of the runway, collided with a ditch culvert, and nosed over. No mechanical problems with the airplane were reported by the student pilot.
