Following the decision to reject the takeoff, the crew applied emergency braking measures to slow the aircraft. Despite these efforts, the aircraft failed to stop within the runway limits and overran the pavement.

As the aircraft exited the runway, it veered toward the left side of the airfield. During the excursion, the aircraft lost its undercarriage and eventually came to a stop on a nearby river bank. The impact resulted in the aircraft being damaged beyond repair.
