What happened
During the initial climb phase following departure from Rome-Ciampino Airport, a twin engine aircraft experienced a loss of control. The aircraft descended into a location used for car demolition, where it struck a large collection of vehicles.
Upon impact, the aircraft collided with more than 30 cars. The force of the crash and the subsequent fire, which ignited during the collision, resulted in the total destruction of the aircraft. The incident resulted in two fatalities, as both members of the crew perished in the accident.
Findings
No specific technical cause for the loss of control was provided in the initial report, though the impact with the vehicle collection and the resulting post-impact fire were primary factors in the destruction of the airframe.
