What happened
While performing a flight from Trinidad toward Oruro, the crew encountered significant atmospheric turbulence and adverse weather. During this period of instability, the aircraft experienced a total loss of control. The aircraft type impacted a mountain slope situated within the San Ignacio de Moxos area. Search teams located the debris field two days after the incident. There were seven fatalities among the occupants, with no survivors reported.
Findings
Investigations into the accident suggest that the primary factor was the failure of cargo restraints during the period of turbulence. It is believed that the ropes used to secure the load snapped, which allowed the internal weight to shift. This movement resulted in a shift in the center of gravity, rendering the aircraft impossible to maneuver and leading to the eventual crash.
