The student pilot, carrying an unauthorized female passenger on a solo training sortie, had descended from the assigned altitude to do low flying over the river for fun.

The cause of the crash was a snag in the engine which lost him some altitude at around 3500 feet due to which the pilot tried to land on a road.
