A pilot, apparently the sole occupant, was engaged in an illegal flight. The pilot attempted to land at night on unsuitable terrain—specifically, a runway that was closed. After landing, the twin-engine airplane experienced a ground loop, swerved, and struck a dirt bank. The aircraft came to rest in flames. The pilot was not found, and the aircraft was destroyed.
