What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Student was on long solo cross country when about 10 miles NM from Yuma AZ the engine started to run rough. He continued along until there was a loud noise from the engine and it stopped. The student landed on a road. On the way down he attempted to contact Yuma but couldn't so he alerted prescott radio (fss). The engine failure is attributed to the #4 separating from the crankcase. The cause of this failure is unknown at this time. The engine is being sent to Lycoming for further investigation.
