Probable cause

Failure of the student pilot to maintain directional control during landing resulting in the aircraft running off the left side of the runway and colliding with a parked aircraft. Factors in the accident were his distraction while raising wing flaps during landing roll which delayed correction of a left drift and his continued holding of aft control wheel forces during landing roll.
