What happened
During a period of limited visibility, the aircraft performed an evasive maneuver to avoid hitting a cement channel marker. During this sequence, the plane veered toward the left before sliding to the right and ultimately making contact with the water's surface.
Following the impact, there were four people on board the aircraft. One passenger succumbed to drowning during the incident. The remaining three occupants of the aircraft were successfully rescued from the scene.
