What happened
During the flight, the left engine of the aircraft suffered a mechanical failure. This malfunction forced the pilot to descend to a lower altitude in an attempt to perform an emergency landing. During this maneuver, the aircraft struck a field located in the vicinity of Soto la Marina.
Upon impact, the airframe was destroyed and a fire broke out at the crash site. The accident resulted in eight fatalities, with no survivors reported among the occupants. The group on board included seven veterinarians.
Findings
Investigations into the incident identified that the primary factor leading to the crash was the failure of the left engine while the aircraft was in flight. The specific underlying reason for this mechanical failure remains undetermined.
