A commercial flight from Boston landed in marginal weather due to Tropical Storm Colin, veered off the wet runway, and suffered gear collapse. All three occupants evacuated safely, but the aircraft was destroyed.

Incident Overview

A flight from Boston-Logan International Airport concluded with a runway excursion at Gainesville Airport after landing in marginal weather conditions associated with Tropical Storm Colin. The aircraft, carrying three occupants, was damaged beyond repair.

Events During Descent and Landing

The crew initiated a descent to Gainesville Airport following an otherwise uneventful flight.

After touching down on a wet runway, the aircraft rolled for approximately 1,000 feet before veering off the runway to the left.

Investigation

The National Transportation Safety Board did not conduct an investigation into the event. As a result, no official probable cause has been determined.
