What happened
A flight operating between Guanaja and San Pedro Sula, which included a scheduled stop in Roatán, ended in an accident after landing at the intermediate destination. Upon touchdown, the aircraft was subjected to intense crosswinds that caused it to drift from the runway surface. The subsequent excursion resulted in the aircraft crashing into the Caribbean Sea.
The incident resulted in 7 fatalities, including one crew member and six passengers. Additionally, 25 individuals sustained injuries during the event.
Findings
Investigations into the accident determined that the primary factor was the loss of control following touchdown as a direct result of powerful crosswind conditions.
