Read the full NTSB narrative
The airplane was damaged when it overran the runway, struck a road embankment, and nosed over. The student pilot stated that he was practicing landings and was performing a simulated emergency landing when the accident happened. He stated that when he was on the downwind leg of the traffic pattern he reduced the engine power to idle. He stated that he turned toward the runway, and applied 40 degrees of flaps. He stated that he touched down about 3/4 of the way down the runway and applied full braking action. He stated that the airplane became airborne again after cresting the uphill grade of the runway and then the airplane "quickly settled back down." He stated that he was about 75 feet from the end of the runway at this point and attempted to turn the airplane to the left to avoid hitting the roadway at the end of the runway. He stated that the airplane went straight ahead striking the road embankment and nosed over on it's top. The student pilot listed no failures relating to the airplane or systems.
