Narrative:While on her first solo cross country flight and cruising at 4,500feet, the engine developed intermittent power loss. Efforts by the student pilot to restore full power failed. The pilot selected an area for a forced landing; the airplane collided with ground during the forced landing. A review of weather data at the time of the accident revealed that conditions were favorable for the formation of carburetor ice.
