As the crew attempted to manage the emergency, the aircraft entered a steep left-hand turn. During this maneuver, the plane lost necessary altitude and collided with an electrical pole. The impact occurred near the end of the runway, resulting in the total destruction of the aircraft. There were four fatalities among the occupants of the flight.
