Upon completing its landing at Palu-Mutiara Airport, the aircraft experienced a loss of directional control. After making contact with the runway surface, the plane drifted from the paved area and exited the side of the runway. During this excursion, the vessel collided with various pieces of construction equipment located near the airfield.
Despite the impact with the machinery, all 32 people on board were able to evacuate the scene without sustaining any injuries. The incident resulted in the aircraft being declared a total loss due to damage sustained during the collision.
