Probable cause
The student pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing, which resulted in a runway excursion and impact with a vehicle.
NTSB analysis
The operator reported that, during the solo student pilot's landing, the airplane immediately veered left and exited the runway, and the left wing struck a vehicle on the adjacent taxiway. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing. The operator reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
