What happened
During the cruise phase of flight, the crew of a twin-engine aircraft experienced a mechanical failure involving one of its engines. Following this loss of power, the flight crew initiated procedures to perform an emergency landing.
Approximately five minutes after the initial engine malfunction, the aircraft lost sufficient altitude and impacted a field. The accident resulted in four fatalities, including the pilot and three passengers. Additionally, seven other occupants sustained injuries during the impact.
Findings
Official investigations concluded that the primary factor leading to the crash was an engine failure during flight, though the specific underlying reason for the engine's malfunction remains undetermined.
