Circumstances
A Beech A35 and a Piper PA-30 collided in flight while both were operating under visual flight rules (VFR). The collision resulted in the destruction of both aircraft.
Flight Paths
The Beech A35 was inbound for landing to an airport located 5 miles north of the airport from which the Piper PA-30 had just departed. The two aircraft converged at an unspecified altitude and location.
Weather and Visibility
The weather was visual meteorological conditions (VMC). The position of the sun relative to the Piper pilot would have restricted his view of the Beech. This visual limitation likely hindered the Piper pilot's ability to see the other aircraft in time to avoid the collision.
Communication
The Beech pilot was in contact with the air traffic control tower (ATCT) at his destination airport. In contrast, the Piper pilot was not using available ATC services. No further details about communications or other contributing factors are provided in the source.
