In response to the engine malfunction, the captain initiated an emergency landing procedure. The aircraft subsequently impacted a prairie, resulting in a crash landing. Despite the impact, all four occupants of the aircraft managed to exit the wreckage without sustaining any injuries. The aircraft was determined to be a total loss due to the extent of the damage sustained during the incident.
