Read the full NTSB narrative
The student pilot lost directional control of the airplane on the landing roll and impacted soft terrain. During the landing roll, the airplane "fishtailed" over the centerline. She added power in an effort to abort the landing and the airplane veered off the left side of the runway. The operator did not report any mechanical problems with the airplane prior to the accident.
