What happened

Following the loss of propulsion, the aircraft entered a stall condition. The flight path led the plane beyond the end of the runway, where it struck a field. The impact resulted in the aircraft being damaged beyond repair.
Outcomes
- The aircraft was occupied by three crew members.
- All three individuals involved in the flight survived the accident.
- The crew sustained minor injuries during the crash landing.
- The airframe was rendered a total loss due to the extent of the damage.
