Due to the insufficient remaining distance, the aircraft exited the paved surface and continued along its path, eventually striking several automobiles and two residential structures. The impact resulted in the total destruction of the aircraft.

Findings

  • The accident resulted in 7 fatalities, including one crew member, five passengers, and one individual on the ground.
