The student pilot reported that during a crosswind landing just prior to the airplane's nose wheel touching down, the airplane's right wing rose and the airplane began to veer to the left. The airplane exited the runway to the left, impacted a runway sign, and ground looped. Examination of the airplane revealed structural damage to the left main landing gear strut and the horizontal stabilizer. The pilot said there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures.
Probable Cause: The student pilot's inadequate compensation for the crosswind condition and failure to maintain directional control during landing.
