Background
A student pilot, flying solo on an instructional flight, was practicing touch-and-go landings. The initial takeoff was conducted on Runway 28 with light wind conditions reported from 100 degrees.
First Landing
On the first landing, the wind had shifted to a right crosswind from the north. The pilot compensated for the crosswind and completed the landing without incident.
Second Landing
During the second landing attempt, the crosswind increased to approximately 18 knots. While touching down, the pilot lost control of the aircraft. The aircraft veered to the left, departed the runway, and entered the adjacent weeds.
Post-Event Actions
In an effort to recover, the pilot added engine power and retracted the flaps. The aircraft became airborne, reaching an altitude of approximately 30 feet. Subsequently, the aircraft lost altitude and collided with the terrain.
