Accident Sequence
A private pilot, who had previously completed eight touch and go landings with a certified flight instructor and received approval for solo flight, performed two solo touch and go landings without incident. During a third solo touch and go landing, the airplane was aligned to the left of the runway. When the pilot attempted to correct the alignment back to the runway centerline, the right wing struck the runway surface. Subsequently, the airplane ground looped.

No further details regarding the aircraft type, registration, operator, location, or pilot experience were provided in the source material. The source did not specify any injuries, fatalities, or damage to the aircraft.
Investigation Findings
The investigation did not state a probable cause for the accident. The sequence of events indicates that the pilot's correction maneuver led to a wing strike and ground loop, but no causal factors or contributing elements were identified in the available information.
