According to the operator, during a training flight in the pattern, the solo student pilot landed on the runway. During the landing roll, the student turned right to exit the runway. However, the airplane's ground speed was too fast and "he missed the taxiway." The airplane exited the right side of the runway just beyond the taxiway turnout, went down an embankment, and then stopped. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left engine mount. The operator reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
