What happened
During an approach to Puerto Plata-La Union Airport, the aircraft experienced a failure of its right engine. Following this initial malfunction, the crew received clearance to land on runway 08, but subsequently decided to execute a go-around maneuver. During the climb phase of this aborted landing, the left engine also lost power and ceased functioning.
Unable to maintain flight on a single engine, the crew attempted an emergency descent into a nearby field. The aircraft eventually crash landed within a sugar cane plantation, where it came to a complete stop. Despite the impact, all 35 occupants were able to evacuate the aircraft safely. The aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss.
