Read the full NTSB narrative
The student pilot stated that after one uneventful touch-an d-go landing, his second landing touchdown resulted in a sudden left swerve, excursion off the runway, and collision with a taxiway sign. The airplane came to rest with a collapsed right main landing gear and a broken right horizontal stabilizer. He further stated that he experienced no precrash mechanical malfunctions, and that he may have inadvertently applied left brake on touchdown.
