What happened
The aircraft departed the runway environment while conducting a landing roll on runway 19. According to the pilot's account, a gust of wind lifted the right wing during the final phase of the landing. This aerodynamic disturbance caused the aircraft to leave the paved surface and collide with a nearby ditch.
At the time of the incident, reported winds were from 270 to 290 degrees at speeds between 10 and 15 knots. The pilot had just completed 0.9 hours of dual instruction with a certified flight instructor prior to this accident flight.

Examination of the site revealed that the aircraft collided with terrain, specifically a ditch, after departing the runway. No mechanical failures or pre-impact anomalies were identified as contributing factors in the immediate narrative provided.
