What happened
During the final approach to McLeese Lake, a twin engine airplane collided with several trees while flying through a heavily wooded region. The impact caused the aircraft to crash into the forest, which subsequently triggered a post-crash fire that engulfed the wreckage.
At the time of the accident, there was only one person on board the aircraft. The pilot was the sole occupant and sustained fatal injuries during the event.
Findings
No specific official conclusions regarding the underlying reason for the collision have been released, though the sequence of events indicates the impact with vegetation occurred while the aircraft was in its approach phase.
