Read the full NTSB narrative

The student pilot said that while landing on runway 27 at Oakland-Troy Airport, he experienced 'turbulence and crosswind.' After touchdown, the airplane drifted to the left and departed the runway. The nose wheel dug into mud, and the airplane nosed over. Examination of the wreckage revealed no anomaly. About 13 miles northwest at Oakland-Pontiac Municipal Airport, the 1145 est wind was reported to be from 200 degrees at 12 knots.
