What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On 9/30/2022 the student pilot, flying solo was on a stabilized landing approach at Torrance airprot CA (toa) runway 11 left. On short final the pilot reported the plane sank rapidly. The pilot added power to get back on "glide slope", increasing the speed just before touchdown. This resulted in the plane bouncing on the runway during touchdown. The plane bounced a few more times, the pilot attempted a go around but it was too late and the plane dove into the runway and stopped, resulting in propeller, nose wheel, nose landing gear and rudder damage.
