Accident Overview
An aviation accident occurred in a mountainous area, as described by one of the survivors. The survivor stated that the aircraft was flying across the face of a mountain and started a left turn up the mountain. During the turn, they realized they were too low. They expected the terrain on the other side of the hill to be level, but instead, there was another hill.
Survivor Account
According to the survivor, the aircraft was flying about 300 to 400 feet above ground level (AGL) before the turn into rising terrain began. The survivor noted that the crew anticipated the terrain beyond the first hill to be flat, but the rising terrain continued, leading to the accident.
Wreckage Location
The wreckage was located on the mountainside at the 9,100-foot level. No further details about the aircraft or occupants have been released from the source.
