While on final approach to land at Vance Brand Municipal Airport, the wind was a 10 to 15 knot left crosswind. As the student pilot (he had a total of 53 hours of flight time) started to flare, he got blown off the runway centerline to the right, then to the left. The stall warning went off, and he pitched the nose down in an attempt to build airspeed. When he pitched the nose back up to gain altitude, the stall warning went off again, and the aircraft stalled. The aircraft departed the left side of the runway into the grass. The airplane impacted the ground, separating the nose landing gear, bending the fuselage, and damaging both wings, the engine mount, and the firewall.
Probable Cause: The pilot inadvertently stalling the aircraft during the landing touchdown. Factors were a crosswind and the pilot's lack of total flight experience.
