Read the full NTSB narrative

The student pilot was conducting solo touch-and-go landings. He stated that, during the fifth landing, just after touchdown, the airplane veered left. The pilot applied right rudder, but the airplane continued left and exited the left side of the runway. The airplane's nose landing gear collapsed, resulting in substantial damage to the firewall. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
