Read the full NTSB narrative

The student pilot reported that, during landing with a crosswind, the airplane veered left. He then applied the brakes, but the airplane continued to veer left. The airplane exited the runway, impacted precision approach path indicator lights, and came to rest in grass. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing. The student reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. The airport's automated weather observation station reported that, about the time of the accident, the wind was from 130° at 10 knots. The student was landing the airplane on runway 06.
