Radar data at 0708 EST showed the aircraft changing heading from 327 to 335 degrees, while altitude decreased from 8,000 to 5,000 feet and ground speed increased from 179 to 188 knots. Controllers were unable to re-establish communication with the aircraft at that time.

Radar coverage was lost approximately 5 miles west-northwest of the Sayre intersection. The aircraft continued its descent, subsequently colliding with power lines before impacting the ground.
Investigation Findings
The investigation did not reveal any mechanical failures or malfunctions in the aircraft. No further information regarding the aircraft type, registration, operator, or occupants was provided in the source.
