What happened
While performing a takeoff roll at the San Pedro Sula-Barandillas Airport, the aircraft experienced a sudden loss of power in one of its engines. This mechanical failure caused the plane to become uncontrollable during the initial phase of flight. As a result of the loss of directional control, the aircraft veered off the runway.
The excursion ended when the airplane struck a wooden residential building located near the airfield. Despite the impact with the structure, there were no injuries reported among the two crew members on board. However, the aircraft sustained damage that was classified as beyond repair.
Findings
Investigations into the incident determined that the primary factor leading to the accident was the loss of engine power during the takeoff sequence.
