What happened
On a flight traveling from Selma-Craig Field toward Maxwell AFB, an aircraft experienced significant mechanical issues shortly after takeoff. At approximately 13:05 local time, the plane departed its origin point. Roughly ten minutes into the flight, the crew encountered difficulties with one of the engines.
Following the onset of these engine problems, the aircraft became uncontrollable. The plane subsequently crashed in the vicinity of White Hall, an area located about 30 km southeast of Selma. The impact resulted in the total destruction of the aircraft. There were four fatalities among the crew members on board during the accident.
Findings
Investigations into the crash determined that the primary factor leading to the loss of control was engine failure.
