What happened
During a flight through adverse weather conditions, an aircraft crashed in a heavily forested and mountainous area situated close to Rajince, in the southern part of Serbia. While navigating through the difficult environment, the plane made contact with treetops before impacting the ground. The impact resulted in the total destruction of the airframe. There were five fatalities among the occupants on board.
Findings
Investigations into the crash suggest that the accident was primarily driven by excessive ice accumulation on the aircraft. This buildup of ice led to a loss of control during the flight, ultimately causing the plane to strike the terrain.
